New Haven-based Haven Hot Chicken, which has grown to more than a half a dozen locations since it was founded in 2020, announced that it will open three new eateries this year.
Haven Hot Chicken will open its seventh location in Newington at 12 Fenn Road this spring.
In addition, the restaurant chain announced that its eighth and ninth locations will be at 907 Post Road in Fairfield and at the Quarry Walk shopping center in Oxford – both opening this year.
“We’re excited to be closer to our mission of 25×25 – opening 25 stores by 2025 – as we continue our expansion west of New Haven,” said Jason Sobocinski, president and co-founder of Haven Hot Chicken.
Haven Hot Chicken is known for its Nashville-style chicken and its vegetarian “Not Chicken,” along with several other offerings.
Its most recent location opened at 524 Main St. in Middletown on Jan. 27.
Haven Hot Chicken also has locations in New Haven, Orange, Norwalk, North Haven and Storrs.
