The Red Chickz Builds on Texas Momentum with New Dallas and Las Vegas Expansion

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 25, 2026 // PRNewswire // -- The Red Chickz is building on the successful opening of its Carrollton, Texas restaurant with new franchise development agreements in the Dallas-Fort Worth market and Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Carrollton restaurant, which opened in July, marks The Red Chickz's second location in Texas and has further strengthened the brand's presence in one of its key growth markets. The opening represents another milestone in the company's broader strategy to expand into high-growth markets with experienced and committed franchise partners. Following the opening, The Red Chickz signed additional development in Dallas-Fort Worth, while also signing an agreement that will bring the brand to Las Vegas for the first time.

"Carrollton has been an exciting opening for us, and we're thrilled to continue building on that momentum with additional development across Dallas-Fort Worth while also bringing The Red Chickz to Las Vegas for the first time," said Shawn Lalehzarian, CEO and Co-Founder of The Red Chickz.

"We've been very intentional about how and where we grow. For us, expansion isn't simply about adding dots to a map—it's about finding the right franchise partners, the right real estate, and the right markets where The Red Chickz can build a lasting presence. Dallas-Fort Worth and Las Vegas are important next steps in that strategy, and we're excited about what's ahead."

Founded in Los Angeles, The Red Chickz has built a national following for its signature Nashville hot chicken and distinctive crunch. The brand continues to expand its franchise pipeline across the U.S., with additional restaurants currently under development.
