Columbus, OH – Hot Chicken Takeover (HCT) has confirmed the public Grand Opening date for its newest location at 4203 N. High Street in Clintonville. The public Grand Opening will be on Friday, June 2 from 4pm-9pm. For the first few days, the restaurant will be open for dinner hours (4pm-9pm) and adjust to full service (11am-9pm) starting June 10.

Known for its Nashville-style hot chicken, the company draws lines which wrap around its current location in the North Market and is lauded for its community-minded approach to employment.

“We’re excited to be a part of the Clintonville community,” comments Hot Chicken Takeover Founder, Joe DeLoss, “we recognize that we have customers who are passionate about our food and our mission in this part of town. We’re grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such an engaged neighborhood.”

Prior to the public opening, HCT will be hosting a Sneak Peek Event Thursday June 1 from 4pm-9pm to benefit the Community Resources Center (CRC). For a $5 donation, customers can be the first in line to purchase a meal at the Clintonville restaurant. Tickets must be purchased ahead of time on EventBrite and are available two groups; 4:00pm-6:30pm and 6:30pm-9:00.

“When Hot Chicken Takeover approached us with the idea to do a fundraiser for the CRC, we were excited,” shares Cliff Wiltshire, Development Director of the CRC, “we’re grateful to have such a thoughtful business in our neighborhood.”

The new location boasts upgraded custom tables to allow easier accessibility and a pick-up window which will be open in the coming weeks.
