## Story

HOUSTON - Angry Chickz is set to spice up the Lone Star State with its first Texas location opening in Houston this October.

Jim Wang, a seasoned restaurateur and multi-unit franchisee, operates over 50 restaurants across seven states, including 14 JINYA Ramen Bars. After visiting Angry Chickz in Aliso Viejo, he was thoroughly inspired by the brand’s growth story and unique flavors and immediately recognized the potential for scaling Angry Chickz throughout Texas.

“While I was visiting California recently, I heard about the concept and its unique history and had to try it firsthand,” said Jim Wang. “Not only was the chicken utterly fantastic, but I immediately recognized the opportunity to scale this concept and stand out in the chicken category.”

Jim Wang’s development agreement with Angry Chickz, aims to bring the brand’s signature heat throughout Texas with its first location opening in Houston. With Wang’s extensive experience in the restaurant industry, the launch is bound to be a swift success.

“Welcoming Jim to the Angry Chickz Family marks a significant milestone,” said Mkhitaryan. “Strategic franchise partnerships like this allow us to reach more communities, create jobs and spread the joy of our signature hot chicken.”

Founded in 2018, Angry Chickz has quickly become a cult favorite for its flavorful and fiery chicken sandwiches, tenders, and legendary mac & cheese.
