Los Angeles-based The Red Chickz is spreading its wings to New Jersey with a three-unit deal.
“We’re thrilled to be introducing The Red Chickz to New Jersey,” Shawn Lalehzarian, co-founder and CEO of The Red Chickz, said in a company press release. “Expanding into the Garden State is an incredibly exciting milestone for us, as we continue to share our unique West Coast spin on Nashville Hot Chicken with new fans across the country. New Jersey’s diverse and dynamic communities make it the perfect place for us to introduce the East Coast to The Red Chickz experience, where crunch meets spice in an unbeatable combination, and we look forward to becoming a staple across New Jersey.”
The Jersey stores will open in Mantua Township, Washington Township and Gloucester Township.
“With this brand, there’s an extremely long runway for development, not only across North America, but also abroad,” Spencer Sabatasso, VP of development at The Red Chickz, said in the release. “This franchise is designed with best-in-class unit economics, streamlined operations and an efficient labor model — perfect for entrepreneurs and multi-unit operators looking to maximize profitability.”
The Red Chickz is not just another hot chicken concept, Sabatasso said.
“While hot chicken has been around for decades, The Red Chickz offers an innovative twist that sets us apart and elevates the classic Nashville Hot experience,” he said. “We serve the crunchiest, most flavorful tenders with or without the Nashville Hot kick. Backed by strong unit economics, streamlined operations and an efficient labor model, The Red Chickz offers a promising opportunity for entrepreneurs looking to grow in the fast-casual space. We’re redefining what it means to serve Nashville Hot Chicken, embracing both tradition and innovation. This combination of authenticity and creativity is what sets us apart and fuels our continued success. We’re not just serving Nashville Hot cuisine; we’re creating happy experiences that resonate with our obsessed customers.”
The Red Chickz has four locations open with 24 in development.
