Dave’s Hot Chicken expands in Boston with third location

Dave’s Hot Chicken has expanded its footprint in Boston with a new location at 1260 Boylston St., marking its third outpost in the city. The fast-growing chain, known for its fiery chicken tenders and sandwiches, now operates 12 locations across Massachusetts, with another opening soon in Dedham.

Founded in Los Angeles in 2017 by best friends Dave Kopushyan, Arman Oganesyan, and Tommy and Gary Rubenyan, the brand has gained a loyal following with its seven spice levels, ranging from mild to the intense “Reaper.”
