Dave’s Hot Chicken has signed a franchise agreement with Azzurri Group to open 60 locations throughout the UK and Ireland, with the first location planned to open in London by Q1 2025.

Azzurri Group is one of the UK’s largest hospitality investment platforms with more than 230 restaurants and stores in its portfolio.

“We know there is an opportunity to make Dave’s Hot Chicken one of the iconic restaurant brands, and we do that by partnering with incredible operators, like Azzurri Group,” says Bill Phelps, CEO of Dave’s Hot Chicken. “The flavor of Dave’s Hot Chicken resonates across borders, and we’re looking forward to the first UK store getting open soon.”

The new stores will have the classic Dave’s Hot Chicken appearance with the exclusively designed LA-based street art reflecting a connection to the parking lot where the brand began.
