A major restaurant chain is opening two new Calgary locations – here's what we know
It’s only been a few short weeks since Dave’s Hot Chicken finally opened its very first Calgary location.
The L.A.-based chain, which is known for its sliders and tenders, set up shop in Calgary’s East Hills neighbourhood earlier this month to much fanfare.
At the beginning of the year, Dished reported that YYC would be getting three Dave’s locations this year, and now we have details of just where and when the remaining new outposts are expected to open.
A representative for Dave’s Hot Chicken told Dished that its next venture into Calgary would be opening in Beacon Hill, with the spot expected to open in August. The third will then open on Macleod Trail this fall.

If you’ve somehow missed out on the hype, Dave’s Hot Chicken began its life in an East Hollywood parking lot in 2017. Since then, its popularity has only continued to grow, with none other than Canadian rapper Drake acquiring a stake in the company in 2021.
It now has locations worldwide, with several in Canada, including Ontario, Edmonton, and most recently, Calgary.
It’s a concise menu, consisting of just chicken tenders, sliders, and a handful of sides. However, its chicken can be customized to one of seven different heat levels, from zero spice right up to its legendary tear-inducing “Reaper” heat.
It also offers fries, kale slaw, and real ice cream milkshakes to help cool off from the serious spice.
If you want an idea of what to expect from Dave’s Hot Chicken’s newest locations, Dished got a sneak peek of its East Hills outpost.
