Dave’s Hot Chicken, backed by Drake, plans to open at Gateshead’s Metrocentre on November 13, its second North East site after Newcastle’s Eldon Square location; the opening-day promotion offers 200 free sliders to app users, while the menu features chicken at seven heat levels. Hattie B’s is scheduled to open in Chattanooga’s historic Signal Knitting Mills on November 18, serving its full menu of chicken, Southern sides and desserts, with indoor and patio seating. Crimson Coward will open a Leesburg, Virginia, restaurant on November 10, offering opening-day discounts and giveaways alongside made-to-order chicken with a choice of heat levels.
