Trafford Centre has secured another major international F&B name, with cult US brand Dave’s Hot Chicken set to make its highly anticipated debut at the destination this summer.
Joining an existing line-up of more than 40 F&B operators at the centre, Dave’s Hot Chicken will add a high-energy, globally recognised brand. The fast-growing Nashville hot chicken concept will open in The Orient, further strengthening Trafford Centre’s position as one of the UK’s leading retail destinations for best-in-class dining.
Dave’s Hot Chicken will bring its signature menu of Nashville-style hot chicken tenders and sliders, served across seven heat levels, alongside its distinctive LA-inspired interiors, street art aesthetic and high-energy in-store experience.
The arrival underlines Trafford Centre’s sustained leasing momentum and its ability to attract category-leading, international brands seeking flagship regional locations. Through a proactive asset management strategy and a collaborative, brand-first approach, Trafford Centre continues to outperform as the North’s most in-demand destination for retail, leisure and F&B operators.
Keyana Mohammadi, Head of Marketing at Dave’s Hot Chicken, said: “Trafford Centre is one of the UK’s leading retail and leisure destinations, making it the perfect home for Dave’s Hot Chicken. We’re excited to bring our spice and high-energy atmosphere to the centre and its shoppers! This opening marks another major milestone in our UK growth journey and we’re looking forward to becoming part of the local community and welcoming guests through the doors from day one.”
