## Story

“What first stood out to me is the quality of the product from Dave’s Hot Chicken. It’s simply second to none,” said Sam Wong, a spokesman for CW Strong Restaurant Group. “This is a young, hip brand with a bright future, and we wanted to get on the ground floor for the next big thing. We’re excited to bring Dave’s Hot Chicken to a new group of customers.”

As part of the deal, the group is looking to build on the brand’s momentum and continue its expansion throughout the country. Dave’s Hot Chicken works well in a variety of floor plans. The team is seeking endcaps with drive-thru infrastructure and a footprint of 2,000 to 2,500 square feet. Real estate developers in Collin and Denton County should contact Greg Bracchi of Edge RE Partners at (214) 545-6907 to review available space. Developers in San Jose and Santa Clara should contact Solomon Ets-Hokin of Colliers International at (510) 433-5840.

“The energy and excitement for the brand has been at an all-time high this year,” said Bill Phelps, CEO of Dave’s Hot Chicken. “We are excited to expand our presence in California and Texas with the highly experienced multi-unit operators who recognize our unique offering of food, and more importantly sees the value in growing with us.”
