Dave's Hot Chicken

Fresh into our new relationship with Dave's Hot Chicken, Geared was asked to "do it again" for this new up-and-comer in the Nashville hot chicken concept sector. In 2014 Geared was tapped in to help Blaze Pizza create a powerhouse brand in the QSR market. We started with Blaze's two locations until they were nearly 300. Now, Dave's Hot Chicken is on its way to becoming the next big thing in the fried chicken marketplace, and they needed a design shop experienced enough to support a concept that is going from zero to 1000 in a heartbeat.

Don't just take it from us — check it out: Restaurant News has already labeled Dave's as the fastest-growing restaurant in the nation. In 2021 sales growth was 262% compared to 2020, with 471% total 2021 open unit count growth compared to 2020 and more than 700 locations in the development pipeline.

The advertising industry has recognized Dave's Hot Chicken as one of the hottest brands in 2022.

"We are excited to be part of Dave's rise to power," states Bil O'Neill, Creative Director of Geared, "and we are thrilled to work with another brand with the right product, leadership, and vision to shake up the industry."
