Hot Chicken Takeover Corporate Office

Hot Chicken Takeover was founded in 2013 by Joe Deloss after a trip to a Nashville, Tennessee, hot chicken restaurant. Joe and his wife created their own recipe, which they taste-tested with passersby on the street! The pair bought a food truck until a crowd-funding effort allowed them to purchase a restaurant.

Today, the company has seven locations, with two being in the Columbus, Ohio, area, along with the food truck, and plans include opening more restaurants in the near future. Customers can purchase chicken by the piece or the entire bird, along with sides such as coleslaw and mac n cheese, as well as banana pudding and waffles.

The company is more famous for its mission statement than its food. Deloss believes in competitive wages and tips, a zero-interest cash advance service for employees, and hiring homeless or former prison inmates.

In November 2022, the Strongsville, Ohio, location abruptly closed with no explanation. However, that hasn’t stopped the company from opening new locations, including the Grandview, Ohio, area.

Hot Chicken Takeover maintains a corporate office in Columbus, Ohio.
