El Cajon, CA – Dave’s Hot Chicken, the scrappy late-night pop-up turned hot chicken sensation, today announced the grand opening of its newest restaurant, in El Cajon, just east of San Diego. The El Cajon restaurant, located at 110 Fletcher Parkway, will celebrate its grand opening on Sunday, April 25, and will be open seven days a week from 10am until 1am.
The fast-casual concept specializes in Hot Chicken Tenders and Sliders, along with sides of house-made Kale Slaw, creamy Mac n’ Cheese and crispy French Fries. Offered at seven various spice levels ranging from No Spice to Reaper (which requires a signed waiver for those who dare), each piece of juicy, hand-breaded chicken utilizes a proprietary spice blend crafted specifically for its heat level.
This is the second San Diego-area Dave’s Hot Chicken restaurant, with the company’s Pacific Beach location having opened in May of 2020. El Cajon also marks the second of twelve Dave’s Hot Chicken restaurants which local residents and business partners Lawrence Joseph Kourie and Andrew Feghali will open in the area.
“Dave’s Hot Chicken will blow your mind! Every Tender is hot, juicy and spicy,” said Bill Phelps, Dave’s Hot Chicken’s CEO. “Our founders started Dave’s as a parking lot pop-up restaurant in Hollywood with a portable fryer and picnic tables from their backyards just three short years ago. We are ecstatic to be opening our second location in the San Diego area and grateful to the community for the support it has shown for our Pacific Beach location!”
