In February, the brand announced the signing of a milestone deal, its second international agreement. It initially started as a parking lot pop-up, but eventually grew into the brand it is today due to its popularity with customers.ĭave’s Hot Chicken has been targeting international locations as well as domestic ones. The brand was founded by Arman Oganesyan and classically-trained chef Dave Kopushyan and two friends in early 2017. As a family business, the brothers will grow Dave’s Hot Chicken with the help of family members and dedicated employees, many of whom have been with the restaurant group for over two decades. The brothers have decades of experience in opening and managing multiple restaurant concepts with their own company, SDM Management. “I fell in love with the quality, the spice customization and flavor profiles of the chicken and other delicious menu items right off the bat,” said Rocco Armocida. The chicken brand signed the deal with brothers Rocco and Anthony Armocida. Dave’s Hot Chicken has announced the signing of a multi-unit agreement to bring 15 new restaurants to Illinois, mainly in the Northwest Chicagoland area.
