Dave’s Hot Chicken has announced a signed agreement to expand into Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, the fast-growing Nashville-style hot chicken franchise this week announced in a press release.
The new restaurant is set to open in early 2025, according to the release, providing visitors with a taste of Nashville-style hot chicken as they arrive or depart from Las Vegas.
Established airport concessions leader JV Ventures will lead this milestone project, spearheaded by Vice President, Leila Day, and JV’s Director of Airport Operations Mark Palmore.
JV Ventures’ portfolio includes several well-known brands inside Harry Reid’s key locations, including Auntie Anne’s, Chili’s, Wolfgang Puck, Starbucks, and Dunkin’, all in partnership with HMS Host. The new Dave’s Hot Chicken location will be their latest addition, continuing a family legacy that began 28 years ago.
“The airport was looking for something different and unique, and I knew Dave’s Hot Chicken was the perfect fit with its simple yet flavorful menu that turns guests into fans every time,” Day said in the release. “This concept is not only fun but also delivers on taste, and we’re thrilled to bring its vibrant experience to individuals passing through Las Vegas. It’s exciting to be a part of something that feels innovative and fresh, and I’m confident that our team, many of whom have been with us for over a decade, will make this a success.”
Specializing in Nashville-style hot chicken tenders and sliders, with spice levels ranging from “No Spice” to “Reaper,” each restaurant also serves sides of house-made Kale Slaw, creamy Mac & Cheese and crispy, seasoned Fries or Cheese Fries.
“We saw Harry Reid International Airport as a natural fit,” Carolyne Canady, CDO of Dave’s Hot Chicken, said in the release. “Leila’s background in airport dining and her dedication to delivering new energy makes her the perfect partner.”
