Hangry Joe’s has made its mark as a dynamic player in the fast-casual dining space, offering a bold take on Nashville-style hot chicken sandwiches and tenders. Launched in 2020 in Virginia, the brand quickly gained traction and has been steadily growing its footprint across the country.
Operating from its headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia, Hangry Joe’s moved into franchising soon after its founding. The concept has appealed to entrepreneurs looking to join a rapidly expanding brand with a clear identity and growing customer base.
What sets Hangry Joe’s apart is its dedication to authentic flavor—offering multiple spice levels that cater to all palates, from mild to fiery. This commitment to true Nashville heat has carved out a unique niche in the competitive chicken franchise landscape.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Hangry Joe’s provides a structured set of training programs for franchisees and their staff to ensure consistency and operational success across its outlets. The franchisor emphasizes timely and comprehensive training before business operations begin and includes provisions for additional ongoing support.
Hangry Joe’s provides franchisees with an exclusive territory where it will not establish another company-owned or franchised outlet selling similar products under the same or similar trademarks.
This protection remains in place regardless of sales performance, population changes, or market conditions within the territory. However, franchisees are not granted rights of first refusal or options for additional territories unless explicitly approved.
Despite this exclusivity, Hangry Joe’s reserves the right to use other distribution channels such as the Internet, catalog sales, and telemarketing to sell within the franchisee's territory. These sales may be under the same trademarks or even different ones, and the franchisor is not obligated to compensate the franchisee for such activities.
