Chicken Guy headed to Tennessee

November 12, 2019

Chicken Guy, a fast casual brand opened last year by celebrity chef Guy Fieri and restaurateur Robert Earl, is coming to Tennessee. Thanks to a deal with Face Hospitality, a subsidiary of Face Amusement Group, the first stage of the agreement will include an opening next year in Nashville, off Second Avenue and Commerce Street, one block from Honky Tonk Row. Other Tennessee locations include Knoxville, Gatlinburg and Johnson City, according to a company press release.

"I've shot ('Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives ins') and eaten all over the state and I know how much the great people of Tennessee love their real deal chicken," Fieri said in the release. "So, to be able to partner with a great local team like Face Hospitality is a perfect opportunity to bring Chicken Guy to Nashville and beyond."

Chicken Guy opened its first location last year at Disney Springs, a shopping, dining and entertainment district in Walt Disney World. This year, it has opened locations at Redskins' FedEx Field, Aventura Mall in Miami, 49er's Levi's Stadium and plans to open outlets in South Florida; Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota; Los Angeles International Airport; Las Vegas and other locations yet to be announced.

Face Amusement Group owns and operates a collection of entertainment experiences with 21 locations in Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina and Missouri.
