The hottest new franchise has finally announced where they will open in Lubbock, and when customers can expect to get spicy chicken.
In October of 2023, Mickey Rogers and Daniel Stanton, who operate Café Venture Catering and nine Fuddruckers hamburger restaurants across Texas and New Mexico, expanded their franchise portfolio with an agreement with Dave’s Hot Chicken. The deal promised to bring locations to Amarillo, Lubbock, Midland and Odessa.
On Monday, Feb. 5, Rogers confirmed in an email that the Lubbock location will open in the former Taco Bueno at 6309 82nd St. The Dave’s Hot Chicken sign will appear on the upcoming restaurant this week, and remodeling plans are underway.
“We plan to open between the end of May and first few weeks in June,” Rogers stated in the email.
Dave’s Hot Chicken started as street food business in Los Angeles in 2017. It specializes in hot chicken tenders and sliders, with spice levels ranging from “No Spice” to “Reaper.” It also offers Kale Slaw, creamy Mac & Cheese and Crispy Fries or Cheese Fries.
