## Story

Alex Smigelski, Tom Carpenter, and Tom Hughes are set to open seven Dave’s Hot Chicken locations throughout eastern Pennsylvania as part of new agreement with the Nashville hot chicken concept. The partners’ Kings Point Ventures, LLC also operates more than a dozen Dunkin’ locations in New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania.

“We heard through the grapevine about Dave’s Hot Chicken and knew we had to see what kind of opportunities they had available. We did our due diligence and, after flying out to California to see the stores and try the food, we were sold,” said Alex Smigelski. “It’s better than advertised, and the simplicity of the menu and operations will play a key role as we add locations throughout eastern Pennsylvania.”

The new restaurants will be located in markets eastern Pennsylvania, including Harrisburg, Lancaster, Reading, and Wilkes-Barre areas.
