(April, 2026; Newton, MA) – Dave’s Hot Chicken has officially opened at Waterford Plaza, bringing its fast-growing, cult-favorite hot chicken concept to one of southeastern Connecticut’s premier retail destinations.
Originally founded in Los Angeles, Dave’s Hot Chicken has rapidly expanded nationwide, earning a loyal following for its Nashville-style hot chicken tenders and sliders, offered across a range of heat levels. The brand’s bold flavors, simple menu, and high-energy atmosphere continue to drive strong consumer demand in markets across the country.
Located along a primary retail corridor, Waterford Plaza benefits from excellent visibility, convenient access, and a strong mix of national and regional tenants. The addition of Dave’s Hot Chicken further elevates the center’s food and beverage offerings and reinforces its position as a dominant shopping and dining destination in the trade area.
