Angry Chickz Brings Customizable Nashville Hot Chicken Levels to Ontario Fans

Fast-Growing Nashville Hot Chicken Brand Angry Chickz Set to Welcome Ontario Diners

Ontario is about to get a whole lot hotter. Angry Chickz is making its debut in the city, introducing local guests to the brand’s signature Nashville hot chicken, customizable spice levels, and hospitality-first dining experience at 960 N. Haven Ave., Suite 140.

The upcoming launch represents another step in the company’s steady California expansion, bringing the brand to 38 restaurants statewide and 43 locations systemwide. As the company continues entering new communities, Ontario joins a growing list of cities embracing the concept’s bold flavors and energetic atmosphere.

Exploring the Scalable Operating Model at Angry Chickz

The new restaurant will serve the full lineup of made-to-order sliders and tenders, with six heat levels ranging from no-heat “Country” to the signature “Angry”, plus the legendary Angry Mac that fans have come to know and love. Built on a simple, highly executable menu of hand-breaded tenders, sliders, bowls, and craveable sides, the business delivers a consistent, high-quality experience designed to drive repeat visits and strong unit-level performance.

“We’ve had our eye on Ontario for a while because it’s a city that’s continuing to grow and has an incredible dining community,” says David Mkhitaryan, founder and CEO of Angry Chickz. “We’re excited to finally be here, introduce ourselves to new guests and become a place where people can grab an amazing meal, bring friends and keep coming back.”

Beyond serving up premium hot chicken, the location is expected to create local jobs and become an active part of the neighborhood. The operating model is purpose-built for scalability, with a focus on operational discipline, off-premise efficiency, and premium product execution.

From Small Roots to Industry Recognition

Founded by Mkhitaryan in 2018, the brand has rapidly scaled from a small 900-square-foot location in Los Angeles’ East Hollywood neighborhood into a multi-state franchise system with a loyal and growing fan base.

Driven by a passion for flavor, hospitality, and disciplined growth, the company continues to expand nationwide through a mix of corporate and franchise development. It has been recognized as a rising leader in the fast-casual space, earning accolades including:
