Nashville Hot Chicken (NHC), a US-based fast-casual dining brand, is set to open its new location in Santa Clarita, California.

Located at 26894 The Old Rd, Stevenson Ranch, the new location will be opened on 10 January 2024. 

The franchise location will be operated by the Damda family.

On the opening day, the restaurant will be offering free sandwiches with any purchase.

The expansion is a testament to the brand's resilience and the Damda family's pursuit of financial freedom, overcoming pandemic-related delays.

Nashville Hot Chicken said in a statement: “The opening of the Nashville Hot Chicken Santa Clarita location is a testament to NHC's dedication to quality and community engagement. As a brand, NHC has always prioritised not only the taste and quality of its food but also the experience it offers to its customers.

“The new location in Stevenson Ranch, CA, is a reflection of these values, promising an environment where families, friends and food enthusiasts can gather to enjoy the best of what Nashville Hot Chicken has to offer.”

In October 2023, Nashville Hot Chicken expanded its cloud kitchen concept in the US by opening a new location in Culver City, California.

The new site was the brand’s 11th cloud kitchen. NHC plans to put the idea of a cloud kitchen at the centre of its expansion strategy.

The company, which was established in 2018, offers guests its Nashville-style hot chicken sandwiches and tenders.
