Crimson Coward Nashville Hot Chicken has signed an Area Representative Agreement with Restaurant Management Group-Mid Atlantic (RMG-MA) for its sixth location, a first on the east coast. John Filipiak and Nabil Asad are the principles of RMG-MA. The L.A. hot chicken franchise opened in January in Woodbridge, Virginia. Filipiak brings 25 years of experience with developing and supporting more than 1,200 Subway franchises in the area with the team at Subway Development of Washington while Asad has spent more than 25 years operating multiple franchise concepts around the country.
Leveraging the popularity of hot chicken with a quality product, Crimson Coward launched in 2019 in Los Angeles with The Crimson rub spice combination, a secret blend of more than 16 primary spices, and five heat levels for guests. They have an aggressive goal to expand with more than 200 additional restaurants by 2027 with RMG-MA planning to manage more than 25 of the new stores.
“The Woodbridge location will bring the core menu with the signature Crimson Rub spice combination, and some select additions unique to the east coast, served up via online or by walk in orders,” said Filipiak, managing partner. The VA franchise will be managed by Asad with a second location in the area set to open in Spring 2023.
“Crimson Coward is heating up the hot chicken industry and we are excited to bring our brand to the east coast and beyond,” said founder, Ali Hijazi.
