The hottest new franchise has finally announced where they will open in Lubbock, and when customers can expect to get spicy chicken.
In October of 2023, Mickey Rogers and Daniel Stanton, who operate Café Venture Catering and nine Fuddruckers hamburger restaurants across Texas and New Mexico, expanded their franchise portfolio with an agreement with Dave's Hot Chicken. The deal promised to bring locations to Amarillo, Lubbock, Midland and Odessa.
On Monday, Feb. 5, Rogers confirmed in an email that the Lubbock location will open in the former Taco Bueno at 6309 82nd St. The Dave's Hot Chicken sign will appear on the upcoming restaurant this week, and remodeling plans are underway.
"We plan to open between the end of May and first few weeks in June," Rogers stated in the email.

"(Rogers and Stanton's) passion and excitement are something that we look for in our franchisees, and we can’t wait to see their success in bringing the Nashville-heat to the South," said Bill Phelps, CEO of Dave's Hot Chicken, in a prior news release.
