Fast-casual restaurant chain The Red Chickz is planning a significant expansion in 2025 following a successful 2024. The company, known for its West Coast take on Nashville Hot Chicken, aims to further its growth with new franchise deals and expansion into regions with high growth potential.

In 2024, The Red Chickz embarked on its East Coast expansion and sealed key franchise agreements in New Jersey and North Carolina. The company also made notable expansions in California and Texas. Furthermore, its first out-of-state branch opened in Cypress, Texas, marking the start of its plan to establish a nationwide presence.

In 2025, The Red Chickz plans to sign franchise agreements for at least 45 new stores, targeting high-potential territories across the nation. Shawn Lalehzarian, Co-Founder and CEO of The Red Chickz, stated that their growth strategy for 2025 is focused on delivering exceptional experiences to customers and achieving the best results for franchisees.

The Red Chickz offers a franchise opportunity with advantages such as a small footprint for easier real estate acquisition and reduced overhead costs, optimized inventory levels, a lean staffing model, and simplified operations. Spencer Sabatasso, VP of Franchise Development, emphasized that their franchise model is designed to provide operators with all necessary tools for success.

With a growing number of franchisees and a robust support system, The Red Chickz is set to make 2025 a significant year for the brand.
