In a major move that signals both confidence and ambition, Dave’s Hot Chicken has been acquired for $1 billion by Roark Capital, the same private equity powerhouse behind Subway and Dunkin’. This milestone marks the latest chapter in one of the most impressive fast-casual success stories in modern restaurant history.

CBRE arranged the sale of a 200,000-sq.-ft. industrial property located at 18045 Rowland Street in the City of Industry, California.

US-based private equity company Roark Capital has acquired fast-casual restaurant chain Dave's Hot Chicken for $1bn, as reported by The Associated Press. In February 2025, Roark Capital announced that it was in talks to buy the chain.
