Hot Chicken Takeover Coming To Northeast Ohio

WESTLAKE, OH — Hot Chicken Takeover will open its first Northeast Ohio restaurant at Crocker Park this summer, the company announced. The restaurant specializes in Nashville-style hot fried chicken and "grandma-approved" sides.

“When it came to selecting our first site outside Columbus,” said Hot Chicken Takeover Founder Joe DeLoss, “Cleveland was the obvious choice for all of us. We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the community and to deliver our mission: creating extraordinary experiences for extraordinary people.”

Before the restaurant opens this summer, Hot Chicken Takeover will host a series of pop-up events across the Cleveland metro area, starting with a free banana pudding stand at the restaurant's future home on Main Street in Crocker Park (near the H&M store).

Hot Chicken Takeover is currently hiring for all restaurant leadership positions, while restaurant crew hiring will begin in the spring. All positions can be found at HCTjobs.com. The company is a Fair Chance Employer.

Hot Chicken Takeover was found in 2014 in the Columbus-area. The restaurant chain has three locations throughout that region. The Westlake-location will be the first Northeast Ohio expansion for the brand.
