Dave’s Hot Chicken, the fast fast-growing restaurant brand backed by rapper Drake and actor Samuel L. Jackson recently announced that it has inked a franchise agreement with John Coughlin and his family to open four locations in Hartford, Connecticut.
Since its debut in 217 in L.A, customers have been swarming their different locations for a taste of Dave’s sliders topped with sweet kale slaw, crisp pickle chips, and star chicken. It received high praise from Eater LA, which wrote that Dave’s “might blow your mind.” It also caught the eyes of celebrity investors, such as Grammy Award-winning rapper Drake and badass mother—ker and Academy Award-winning actor Samuel L. Jackson.
“I tried the food and it was amazing,” Drake said in a statement in 2021. “After meeting the founders and hearing their story, I jumped at the opportunity to invest.”
Commenting on the development, the CEO of Dave’s Hot Chicken, Bill Phelps, said, "We look forward to supporting John and his family as they bring the brand to the Connecticut market hungry for Dave’s Hot Chicken.”
