A fast-food chain that’s taking over TikTok and YouTube will open in the city centre this month.
Rapper Drake became a major investor in Dave’s Hot Chicken in 2021. Now, it’s trending online as influencers flock to try the hottest spice option – ‘The Reaper’ – which requires a signed waiver to order.
Starting small, the chain began in 2017 as a pop-up run by three childhood friends in a Hollywood car park. Since then, the trio have come a long way, now boasting a string of celebrity investors including Samuel L. Jackson and Usher. With 200 locations worldwide, the company is currently valued at $1 billion.
With branches already in Manchester, Birmingham and London, Dave’s Hot Chicken is due to open in February. Replacing Ask Italian, it will be located on Cambridge Street near the Town Hall.
Staying true to its LA roots, the Sheffield branch will be decorated with bright red paint and flashy lights. Unsurprisingly, customers can expect a line-up of chicken dishes: burgers, wings, tenders and loaded fries, all served with plenty of spice – if you can handle it!
