Angry Chickzis on fire—and Location Matters is proud to be fueling the expansion! We’ve recently helped our client secure four new leases in Watsonville, Santa Clarita, Victorville, and La Quinta, further cementing their presence across California. Their brand-new Elk Grove location also just opened its doors this past weekend, and was another deal we were excited to bring to the finish line. Founded in 2018, Angry Chickz is known for its crave-worthy Nashville hot chicken, featuring spicy tenders, sliders, mac & cheese, and more. Alexis Couch exclusively represents Angry Chickz, and together we’re aggressively searching for 1st or 2nd generation sites ranging from 2,000-3,400 SF throughout California and Nevada as they continue their bold growth trajectory.
