October’s Very Own is ringing in his 38th birthday in a major way.
“Drake is hooking everyone up with a Dave’s Hot Chicken slider on him, at the company’s 230 locations,” the restaurant announced on Monday.
Famous for turning his birthday into a lifestyle, the celebration takes place on Oct. 24 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. local time.
The slider is a full-sized chicken sandwich and is only available to those who visit their local restaurant in person and scan the reward using the Dave’s Hot Chicken app. The deal is for one day only and is limited to one per customer. The offer is not available via online ordering or through third-party delivery services.
“We love that Drake is choosing to celebrate his birthday with Dave’s guests,” said Bill Phelps, Dave’s Hot Chicken’s CEO. “As this brand expands from coast-to-coast and abroad, it’s the authenticity of the food, founders, team members and investors, like Drake, which ensure we’ll continue to blow peoples’ minds.”
The popular Nashville-style hot chicken brand was founded in an East Hollywood parking lot seven years ago by childhood friends Chef Dave Kopushyan, Arman Oganesyan and Tommy Rubenyan.
The company specializes in hot chicken sliders, tenders and bites, along with sides of house-made kale slaw, creamy mac & cheese and crispy, seasoned french fries. The chicken is offered in seven spice levels ranging from no spice to our even-hotter reaper (which requires a signed waiver for those who want to try), each piece of juicy, hand-breaded chicken is spiced-to-order.
“In 2019, the team struck a deal with Wetzel’s Pretzels co-founder and former CEO, Bill Phelps, to begin franchising the Dave’s Hot Chicken concept, with Billboard’s Artist of the Decade, Drake, investing in the brand as well,” the company explained. “The company has sold the rights to more than 1,000 franchise locations in the U.S., Middle East and Canada and will open 80-plus locations this year.”
