CONYERS, Ga. — It's confirmed that R&B superstar Usher will open a Dave's Hot Chicken in Conyers on Friday. It's the franchise's first restaurant in Georgia.
According to a press release from Dave's Hot Chicken, the new restaurant will open on Friday, Aug. 30. It's located at 447 Hwy 138 SE in Conyers, Georgia. The store will host a soft launch on Thursday around 9 a.m. featuring a drone show telling the company's story.
Dave's Hot Chicken is known for bringing the heat with bold hot chicken flavors, including "Reaper" and "Extra Hot." The chain also has vegan options like "Dave's Not Chicken" cauliflower options. And if you're looking for a sweet treat, it has a variety of loaded milkshakes.
