## Story

Dave’s Hot Chicken announced today it has inked a franchise agreement with Al Graziano to make its entrance into New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

“Al first location in Massachusetts has been a smash-hit, and I anticipate that same success will translate to his new Dave’s Hot Chicken restaurants,” said Bill Phelps, CEO of Dave’s Hot Chicken.

“As a multi-unit restaurant owner, the value of joining a brand like Dave’s Hot Chicken was apparent to me,” said Graziano, who was a Jersey Mike’s franchisee prior to joining Dave’s Hot Chicken.

Graziano will focus on growing Dave’s Hot Chicken in Merrimack, Hillsborough and Rockingham Counties in New Hampshire, as well as Essex County in Massachusetts.

Specializing in hot chicken tenders and sliders, with spice levels ranging from “No Spice” to “Reaper,” each restaurant also serves sides of house-made Kale Slaw, creamy Mac & Cheese and crispy Fries or Cheese Fries.
