Dave’s Hot Chicken started in a California parking lot (not even an exaggeration) in 2017 and became so popular that they were able to expand across the U.S..

According to their site:

“The boys had the money to open a shop in a hip strip-mall with décor by local street artists, where the crowds continued to grow with wait-times of an hour and more. From there, the incredibly craveable ‘Hot and Spicy’ varieties have created a cult following with rave reviews across the U.S. and Canada.“
