From a parking lot pop-up in 2017 to more than 400 locations nationwide, it’s been incredible to watch the growth of Dave’s Hot Chicken, and we’re proud to continue being part of that journey.
Recently, members of the Strack leadership team traveled to Pasadena, CA for the annual Dave’s Hot Chicken 2026 Development Summit, where we had the opportunity to reconnect with franchise owners, architects, vendors, and the outstanding corporate development team helping drive the brand’s continued expansion across the country.
Events like this are always valuable, not just for learning about new products, operational efficiencies, and future growth plans, but for strengthening the relationships that make successful projects possible.
At Strack Construction, we believe the best partnerships are built for the long term. We’re invested in the continued success of every client and partner we build with, and we’re grateful to work alongside teams that are constantly pushing their brands forward.
We are excited for what’s ahead and looking forward to continuing to help bring more Dave’s Hot Chicken locations to life.
