Dave’s Hot Chicken is planning to open four new restaurant locations in Washington by the end of 2026.

The owners, Dave Kopushyan, Arman Oganesyan, and Tommy Rubenyan, a group of childhood friends, founded Dave’s Hot Chicken in 2017. The first Seattle location opened in 2023.

“Our not-so-grand opening was in 2017, in a parking lot in East Hollywood, with a couple of folding tables and a portable fryer under the night sky,” Dave’s Hot Chicken stated in a prepared statement.

Where to grab some Dave’s Hot Chicken

Dave’s Hot Chicken will open its doors in Redmond and Tacoma by the end of 2025, and the Puyallup and Federal Way locations are scheduled to open in 2026.

The Redmond location will be situated at 16502 Cleveland Street, and the Tacoma location will be located within the Tacoma Mall at 4502 Steele Street, Suite 1670, according to 425Business.

The stores set to open in 2026 will be at 16511 Meridian E. in Puyallup and at The Commons shopping center in Federal Way, according to FOX 13.
