The Red Chickz Expands Texas Footprint and Brings the Heat to Beaumont

California’s Hottest Chicken Franchise Spices Up Southeast Texas with Second Lone Star State Deal

LOS ANGELES, CA – The Red Chickz, the fast-casual powerhouse known for its bold West Coast spin on the crunchiest, most flavorful Nashville Hot Chicken, is turning up the heat in Texas with a brand-new franchise agreement in Beaumont. This marks the brand’s second launch in the Lone Star State, following the successful debut of its Cypress location in the Houston metro area last spring.

Leading the charge is franchise partner, Muhammad Kapadia, who is bringing The Red Chickz’ signature crunch, spice, and crave-worthy flair to Southeast Texas. The brand already has a strong regional following thanks to the buzz generated by its Houston-area debut and its social media virality, which continues to drive interest across the state and beyond.

“We’re fired up to continue our growth across Texas and introduce The Red Chickz to the Beaumont community,” said Shawn Lalehzarian, Co-Founder and CEO of The Red Chickz. “Muhammad shares our passion for quality, hospitality, and innovation, and we’re excited to welcome him to the team.”

Since opening its first location in Downtown Los Angeles, The Red Chickz has gained national attention for reinventing Nashville Hot Chicken with a California twist. The brand has developed a cult following due to its viral social media presence, innovative menu, and culinary excellence.

With a menu that includes seven spice levels and unique creations like the Honey Butter Sandwich and Nashville Hot Chicken Tacos, The Red Chickz is redefining the fast-casual experience and pushing the boundaries of comfort food.

“Our expansion into new markets like Beaumont underscores the strength of our concept and the excitement surrounding this brand,” said Spencer Sabatasso, VP of Development for the Red Chickz. “We’ve built a scalable, high-demand model that delivers on both guest experience and franchisee success.”

Now with franchise agreements signed in Texas, California, North Carolina, and New Jersey, and 26 additional locations in development, The Red Chickz is growing with purpose—one spicy bite at a time.
