Dave's Hot Chicken held a grand opening Oct. 29 for its new Plano location at 8315 Preston Road, Ste. 400.
The restaurant serves chicken tenders of varying degrees of spiciness, fried chicken sliders, crinkle-cut fries and more. According to its website, the company began as a food cart in East Hollywood. Dave's Hot Chicken has over 20 active locations across Texas, California, Colorado and Canada.
Sam Wong, co-owner of the Plano location, said three things convinced him to buy into the concept: high-quality food, the restaurant’s interior aesthetics and strong employee morale. Wong said the company has hired 100 employees for the Plano store as of late October.
Wong said Dave’s has gained popularity in-part due to a strong social media presence and a number of high-profile celebrity investors, including the musician Drake and actor Samuel L. Jackson.
