How Dave’s Hot Chicken Started

Dave’s Hot Chicken began as a late night dream in a parking lot. In 2017, childhood friends Dave Kopushyan, Arman Oganesyan, and brothers Tommy and Gary Rubenyan pooled $900 to set up a pop-up stand in East Hollywood, Los Angeles. Their goal was simple: serve the best Nashville-style hot chicken in California.

Word spread fast. Within weeks, lines stretched around the block. The pop-up had a cult following before it even had a permanent address.

In 2018, Dave’s opened its first brick and mortar restaurant in East Hollywood. The concept caught the attention of major investors, and the brand began expanding rapidly across the United States. By 2021, globally recognised rapper and entrepreneur Drake had joined the investment group, bringing the brand even wider attention. Actor and producer Samuel L. Jackson followed as an investor, further cementing Dave’s status as a cultural phenomenon, not just a restaurant chain.

As of 2026, Dave’s Hot Chicken operates over 900 locations across the U.S. and Canada, with international expansion underway. It remains one of the fastest-growing restaurant chains in American history.
