Per Oganesyan, the pairing started in July when Drake’s team wanted Dave’s Hot Chicken to cater his party to celebrate receiving Billboard’s Artist of the Decade award. Jackson and Boston Red Sox chairman Tom Werner are both stakeholders - his participation should give an even bigger boost to the Dave’s Hot Chicken name. Though Drake isn’t the first big name to sign on with Dave’s Hot Chicken - actor Samuel L. The spicy tender and fries group is showing no signs of slowing down at the moment, but this type of business development does require ample capital and investment. That partnership now has Dave’s on track to debut 40 new restaurants this year, with plans for some 280 locations eventually, according to Restaurant Business. The crew rode the Nashville-style hot chicken wave as it swept through Southern California and the nation, inking a 2019 licensing deal with the original investors behind the Pasadena-based Blaze Pizza to grow the company across the continent. “As far as investors go, he has a very good stake.”ĭave Kopushyan, Arman Oganesyan, Tommy Rubenyan, and Gary Rubenyan started Dave’s Hot Chicken as an East Hollywood pop-up in early 2017, only to move into a brick-and-mortar location nine months later.
Oganesyan isn’t saying how large Drake’s claim to the business is, but it’s pretty significant. That’s according to Dave’s Hot Chicken co-founder Arman Oganesyan, who says the massively popular rapper/entertainer recently signed on as a major investor to the Los Angeles-based restaurant chain. It’s true, Drake is officially in the hot chicken business.
