The History & Origins of Dave’s Hot Chicken
Dave’s Hot Chicken was founded in May 2017 by four friends: Dave Kopushyan, Arman Oganesyan, Tommy Rubenyan, and Gary Rubenyan.
They started with just $900, using folding tables and portable fryers for a late-night pop-up in a parking lot in East Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.
From a Parking Lot Pop-Up to a Permanent Restaurant
Within one year of launching the pop-up, the founders opened their first permanent restaurant in East Hollywood. Film producer John Davis and former Wetzel’s Pretzels CEO Bill Phelps later joined in 2019, helping the brand scale nationally.
