Mayor Jeff Martin and Councilman Anthony Carabelli Jr. joined owners Nari Khan, Jamel Panezai, and Kashif Khan for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the grand opening of Dave’s Hot Chicken in Hamilton Township earlier this month.
The Hamilton location marks the trio’s third Dave’s Hot Chicken restaurant, with a fourth location planned to open soon. As experienced franchise operators, Khan, Panezai, and Khan bring both passion and expertise to the fast-growing brand, known for its crave-worthy Nashville-style hot chicken.
“Bringing Dave’s Hot Chicken to Hamilton is an exciting milestone for us,” said co-owner Nari Khan. “We’re grateful for the warm welcome and can’t wait to share our love of great food with this community.”
Founded in Los Angeles in 2017, Dave’s Hot Chicken began as a humble parking lot pop-up and has since become one of the fastest-growing restaurant franchises in North America. Famous for its hand-breaded chicken tenders and sliders — served with spice levels ranging from “No Spice” to the fiery “Reaper” — the brand now boasts over 300 locations worldwide.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Dave’s Hot Chicken to Hamilton Township,” said Mayor Martin. “This new location not only adds a great dining option for residents but also strengthens our local economy. We’re proud that national brands like Dave’s are choosing to invest and grow right here in Hamilton.”
Located at 770 Route 33, the new Hamilton restaurant offers residents and visitors a bold, flavorful dining experience and a fresh addition to the local food scene. Adding to the excitement, this location features convenient drive-thru and pick-up through online ordering options.
