A rapidly expanding Nashville-style hot chicken chain is heading to Little Patuxent Parkway.
A Hangry Joe's franchise is set to open at 10730 Little Patuxent Parkway in the shopping strip that includes 7-11 and Nothing Bundt Cakes.
Started in part by one of the Sweet Frog Frozen Yogurt founders, Derek Cha, Hangry Joe's offers counter-service sandwiches, chicken tenders, chicken and waffles – all at varying spice levels. Customers who order the highest heat level - Angry Hot - are required to sign a waiver. Korean-style nuggets and various sides round out the menu.
The chain currently has 3 restaurants in Maryland (Annapolis, Wheaton, and Travilah) and another 8 locations in Virginia. The website says that new franchise locations are coming soon to 4 more cities in Maryland and 13 additional places in Virginia. The chain also has locations in Texas and New Jersey.
Here is an image of the menu.
An eagle-eyed blog reader tipped off The Merriweather Post that Hangry Joe's has leased a 1,750 sqft space in this building after finding the restaurant labeled on the leasing website for 10730 Little Patuxent. I swung by the retail strip and noticed interior construction has begun. The largest (at 3,750 sqft) and last-remaining retail space in this building is still available.
