Federal Way’s mall scene just turned up the heat. Dave’s Hot Chicken cut the ribbon Friday on a new storefront at The Commons, bringing the chain’s Nashville-style tenders and loaded sandwiches to the I-5 corridor. Mayor Jim Ferrell and Councilmember Linda Kochmar joined franchise owners and mall officials for the opening ceremony.
Where it is
The new Dave’s sits inside The Commons at Federal Way and is listed by the chain at 1701 S Commons, while the mall’s leasing map shows the restaurant as tenant M7G. According to Dave’s Hot Chicken and the mall’s leasing brochure, the space measures about 2,954 square feet and was advertised as “coming soon” ahead of the ribbon cutting.
