The Red Chickz Ignites California Growth with New Sacramento Location Following Fresno Success
California-Born Brand Brings Its Signature Nashville Hot Chicken with a Twist to Sacramento, Led by Veteran Franchisees
LOS ANGELES, CA – The Red Chickz, the fast-casual sensation known for its West Coast twist on the crunchiest, most flavorful Nashville Hot Chicken, is making a bold entrance into the state’s capital with a new lease signed at 2115 Bronze Star Dr., Woodland, CA. This milestone reinforces The Red Chickz’s explosive expansion in its home state, following the brand’s successful debut in Fresno this August, where it quickly earned a devoted local following. As The Red Chickz continues to grow its presence statewide and beyond, Sacramento residents can look forward to an exciting new dining experience with the signature heat and crunch that has captured fans nationwide.
A New Flavor Experience Arrives in Sacramento
The Sacramento location, set to open in Spring 2025, promises to become a go-to destination in the capital city for bold flavors, unique menu offerings, and an upbeat, welcoming atmosphere. Guests will have the opportunity to explore everything from classic Nashville Hot Chicken sandwiches to The Red Chickz’s signature West Coast spins, like the Honey Butter and French Toast Chicken sandwiches. With options for a diverse range of tastes and preferences, the Sacramento location is designed to be more than just a place to eat; it will be a hub where families, friends, and foodies can come together to enjoy one-of-a-kind flavors and a vibrant dining experience.
“This expansion into Sacramento is a key milestone in our California journey as we continue to build our presence in The Golden State,” said Shawn Lalehzarian, Co-Founder and CEO of The Red Chickz. “We’re so excited to introduce our unique flavors and energetic dining vibe to Sacramento. This is a city that values innovation and quality, and we’re confident that our menu and dedication to customer satisfaction will resonate here.”
Expanding Statewide: Building on Fresno’s Success
The brand’s expansion into Sacramento follows the impressive performance of The Red Chickz’s Fresno location at 3520 N Blackstone Ave, Ste 106, which opened in August 2024. Under franchisee Keerat Riar, Fresno’s location has quickly become a local favorite, boasting a 4.8-star rating on Google from 175 reviews. This incredible reception is a testament to the brand’s flavor and quality, offering California diners a unique fusion of Nashville Hot Chicken with a satisfying California twist.
“The immediate success of our Fresno location highlights the strong connection The Red Chickz is building across California and the nation,” said Spencer Sabatasso, VP of Development at The Red Chickz. “This excitement and loyalty we’re seeing from customers is proof that our bold, unique flavors are resonating far and wide. We’re showing that The Red Chickz isn’t just a regional favorite, but a concept with a true hold on taste buds from coast to coast.”
As The Red Chickz continues to extend its reach, each new location reinforces the brand’s focus on quality, community, and customer satisfaction. With Sacramento slated to open in Spring 2025, The Red Chickz is poised to provide an unparalleled fast-casual experience to California’s capital, introducing more guests to the unique flavors and irresistible crunch that have fueled the brand’s rapid rise in the QSR scene.
