Dave's Fried Chicken, a national fast-food brand, is setting its sights on the Phila. collar counties.

Dave’s Hot Chicken — which quickly became popular for its Nashville-inspired chicken after it launched five years ago — is planning to nest at least eight locations in the Philadelphia region, including Springfield Township, writes Ryan Mulligan for Philadelphia Business Journal,

The franchise is also planning sites in Bucks, Chester, and Montgomery counties.

Franchisees Jiger Patel and Pranav Desai are confident they will have leases signed for several locations by the end of the year. In 2023, they plan two locations in both the second and third quarters and intend to hatch four more in 2024.

“We feel this kind of brand, with the expansion it needs, it should be in a larger market,” said Patel. “We’re signing an eight-unit deal to start, but a big city like Philadelphia gives us more opportunity for expansion.”

The planned carry-out sites are the first in the Delaware Valley. The company has more than 60 locations in North America.

“We’re really starting to make our presence known along the East Coast, and Philadelphia was a key market for us to enter to continue establishing Dave’s throughout the region,” said Shannon Swenson, Dave’s Hot Chicken’s vice president of franchise development.
