Heaton Park<\/a> spotted cheeky posters plastered across the venue reading ‘Call for Hot Chicks on 07986 992770’.<\/p>\nThe number led callers to a tongue-in-cheek voicemail revealing the date and secret location of the Manchester pop up. The hotline is still live so anyone can call now and find out where to go.<\/p>\n
Jim Attwood Managing Director of Dave\u2019s Hot Chicken UK said: \u201cManchester\u2019s been asking for Dave\u2019s and we couldn\u2019t just open quietly.<\/p>\n
“Flying a plane over an Oasis gig with a hotline number felt very us. This is about giving Mancunians a proper first taste of what Dave\u2019s is all about. Big flavour big heat big energy.<\/p>\n
“Come down and get involved – just don\u2019t hang about once the sliders are gone they\u2019re gone.\u201d<\/p>\n

While there will be hundreds of sliders on offer, they’ll be dishes out on a first-come-first-served basis.<\/p>\n
Dave’s is known for its signature Nashville-style hot chicken – which you can get served in seven spice levels from \u201cNo Spice\u201d to \u201cReaper\u201d – as well as its “next level” milkshakes.<\/p>\n
Last month when confirming the Manchester launch, bosses revealed the interior of the new site will be inspired by “Manchester’s rave scene” featuring an “industrial design”.<\/p>\n
A statement read: “The space will take its cue from Manchester\u2019s iconic warehouse rave scene with an industrial design – think towering ceilings, exposed steelwork, and laser lights. It\u2019ll be a full on sensory trip, where music, light and fried chicken will come together to create a high-voltage experience.<\/p>\n

“Adding to the edge whilst nodding to the brand\u2019s L.A. roots, the space will be brought to life with bold, custom graffiti inspired by legendary L.A.-based street artists Splatterhaus and Dehmq – whose work has become a signature across all Dave\u2019s locations.<\/p>\n
“Their work combines the dynamic spirit of Los Angeles with Manchester\u2019s raw, creative vibe, transporting guests into a whole new world of fried chicken indulgence.”<\/p>\n
The brand was created in 2017 by three childhood friends, Chef Dave Kopushyan, Arman Oganesyan and Tommy Rubenyan, who scraped together $900 to launch Dave\u2019s Hot Chicken in a parking lot, portable fryers and folding tables in tow.<\/p>\n
In 2019, the team struck a deal with Wetzel\u2019s Pretzels co-founder and former CEO, Bill Phelps, to begin franchising the Dave\u2019s Hot Chicken concept, with Billboard\u2019s Artist of the Decade, Drake, investing in the brand as well.<\/p>\n
The free sliders pop-up will take place at a mystery location next Tuesday, 29 July, and people can call 07914685296 for details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The location of the pop-up has already been revealed via a hotline promoted on posters spotted at Oasis\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":290290,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[748,393,4884,2465,8086,8886,280,26664,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-290289","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-manchester","12":"tag-manchester-city-centre","13":"tag-manchester-restaurants","14":"tag-restaurants","15":"tag-the-printworks","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114913302627584871","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=290289"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290289\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/290290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=290289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=290289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=290289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
