Trafford Centre to serve up Dave’s Hot Chicken this summer

Dave’s Hot Chicken is set to add to the food and beverage offering at Manchester’s Trafford Centre.

The US-based hot chicken brand will join a lineup of over 40 food and beverage operators at the scheme, offering a range of Nashville-style chicken tenders and sliders.

Located within The Orient food court, Dave’s Hot Chicken’s new location will feature a Los Angeles-inspired interior with a street art aesthetic.

Kitty Vaughan, director and head of UK leisure and F&B leasing at Pradera, asset manager of Trafford Centre, said: “Dave’s Hot Chicken is exactly the kind of globally recognised, high-growth brand we’re focused on bringing to Trafford Centre. Its arrival reflects both the strength of the destination and the continued demand we’re seeing from leading F&B operators looking for standout, high-performing locations.

“With sustained footfall, a best-in-class retail and leisure offer and a proven track record of supporting brand growth, Trafford Centre remains the optimum choice for operators looking to make an impact in the UK market.”

Keyana Mohammadi, head of marketing at Dave’s Hot Chicken, added: “Trafford Centre is one of the UK’s leading retail and leisure destinations, making it the perfect home for Dave’s Hot Chicken. We’re excited to bring our spice and high-energy atmosphere to the centre and its shoppers!

“This opening marks another major milestone in our UK growth journey, and we’re looking forward to becoming part of the local community and welcoming guests through the doors from day one.”
