Hot Dang! Dave's Hot Chicken Gets Gobbled Up!

Aw Phooey! A Billion Dollar Bird!

Well blow me down! That Roark Capital they done gone and bought a big ol' piece of Dave's Hot Chicken! They say it's worth near a billion clams and I ain't talkin' about the kind you find on the beach! It all started in a parking lot can you believe it? Now they got more than 300 places! It's enough to make a duck's feathers stand on end!

Hotter Than a Temper Tantrum!

This Dave's chicken is somethin' else I tell ya! They got spice levels from 'no spice' all the way to 'Reaper'! One fella even ended up in the hospital! Now that's hotter than me when Huey Dewey and Louie swap my syrup with glue. But folks are linin' up for it! They got sliders tenders the whole shebang! And that CEO Bill Phelps says "The timing was absolutely right!" What does he know I've been trying to get a good time for years and nothing!

International Incident (of Deliciousness)!

Phelps is quackers about the deal sayin' Roark's got the connections to make Dave's even bigger. He says they could have 4,000 places around the world! 4,000! That's more than I got nephews! They said "We have an opportunity to blow this thing up very quickly," I'm not so sure about blowing things up but more chickens maybe.

No Cheapskates Allowed!

Dave's ain't cuttin' corners neither! They're stickin' to their original recipes and high quality chicken. That means no cheap ingredients or speedin' things up just for the sake of it. They say they're keepin' things the same even with Roark in charge. "How did we get to that billion dollar brand status? We leaned into what they created rather than adjusting it or changing it based on conventional wisdom," said some big shot.

Roark's Restaurant Romp!

This ain't Roark's first rodeo no siree! They already own Subway (that's a lot of sandwiches!) Arby's Dunkin' and Cinnabon and a whole bunch of other grub hubs! They've had their eyes on Dave's for ages. One of the founders said "They came to our 15 store grand opening!" That's dedication!

Millionaire Mania!

And here's the best part! That Phelps guy is makin' a bunch of his employees millionaires! They all gettin' bonuses even the assistant managers! "He literally made 20 millionaires," one of the founders said. Talk about a lucky break a million reasons to shout Hoo Hoo!
