Dave’s Hot Chicken To Take Over Former Boston Market

If you’ve been on foodie social media over the past several years, you’ve most likely seen a food influencer talking about Dave’s Hot Chicken.

The former Boston Market in Falls Township will soon pivot from rotisserie chicken to Nashville-style chicken as Dave’s Hot Chicken prepares to open its doors.

Signage for the fast-casual chain was installed this week at 360 North Oxford Valley Road, which sits near Jefferson Bucks Hospital, the Oxford Valley Mall, and Sesame Place.

Interior construction on the new eatery has been taking place in recent months.

The restaurant is being launched in Lower Bucks County by The Integrity Group, which is based in neighboring Middletown Township. The franchise group operates nearly 70 restaurants of various brands.

Dave’s Hot Chicken operates a location in Richland Township in Upper Bucks County, Upper Moreland in Montgomery County, Northeast Philadelphia, and Hamilton, New Jersey.

In 2017, Chef Dave Kopushyan, Arman Oganesyan, and Tommy Rubenyan started Dave’s Hot Chicken in a Los Angeles parking lot with $900, portable fryers, and folding tables.

The menu focuses on Nashville-style chicken tenders, sliders, and bites. Customers can choose from seven spice levels, ranging from “no spice” to “reaper.” Side dishes include house-made kale slaw, mac and cheese, and seasoned fries.

The brand quickly expanded from an East Hollywood brick-and-mortar shop to a global franchise after a 2019 deal involving movie producer John Davis and Bill Phelps, the co-founder and former CEO of Wetzel’s Pretzels.

The company has sold the rights to more than 1,020 locations across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and the Middle East, with more than 70 set to open in 2026.

The company’s rapid growth has attracted high-profile investors, including entertainers Drake, Usher, Samuel L. Jackson, Maria Shriver, and Michael Strahan.

The Falls Township Boston Market closed in 2024 after years of the chain’s decline.
