Dave's Hot Chicken, the cult-favorite brand known for serving craveable hot chicken, has announced the launch of new Dave's Slushers topped with Pop Rocks candy. These limited-time frozen drinks are now available at participating locations nationwide.
New Slusher Flavors
Guests can choose from four vibrant frozen drink flavors: Mountain Berry Blast, Flashin' Fruit Punch, Orange Lavaburst, and Strawberry Lemonade. Each Slusher can be customized with a choice of Watermelon or Blue Razz Pop Rocks topping, creating an icy, candy-topped drink experience that crackles with every sip.
A Fun and Nostalgic Experience
Jim Bitticks, CEO of Dave's Hot Chicken, expressed excitement about the new offering. "At Dave's, we're always looking for ways to create memorable experiences that are as fun as they are craveable. Adding Pop Rocks to our Slushers takes a refreshing frozen drink and makes it completely unexpected. It's bold, nostalgic, loud, and over the top in the best way possible."
The new Slushers are designed to bring fans a cooling complement to the signature hot chicken while tapping into the growing demand for experiential beverages and nostalgic flavors. Whether paired with Dave's signature Sliders and Tenders, or Mini Sliders (which are now back), or enjoyed on their own, the Slushers deliver flavor, texture, and a little bit of chaos in every cup.
About Dave's Hot Chicken
Dave's Hot Chicken started as a modern-day American dream story in 2017 when three childhood friends—Chef Dave Kopushyan, Arman Oganesyan, and Tommy Rubenyan—scraped together $900 to launch the brand in a parking lot with portable fryers and folding tables. The concept quickly took off, opening an East Hollywood brick-and-mortar restaurant shortly after, with support from Tommy's brother, Gary. In 2019, the team partnered with Wetzel's Pretzels co-founder and former CEO Bill Phelps to begin franchising, with Billboard's Artist of the Decade, Drake, also investing in the brand. The company has sold rights to more than 1,500 franchise locations in the U.S., Middle East, Europe, and Canada, and plans to open over 150 locations this year. The company's mission is to "blow their minds," harkening back to an Eater LA blog that helped propel early interest in the brand.
