Hangry Joe’s Hot Chicken & Wings coming to Dover’s Capital Station

Plans to open in late 2024

Buildout on a new Nashville-style chicken restaurant has begun in Dover’s Capital Station shopping center on Division Street and DuPont Hwy. Hangry Joe’s Hot Chicken & Wings will likely be the first of the chain’s stores to open in Delaware in late fall/early winter 2024 when construction is expected to be complete.  A location is also currently planned in Wilmington.

Anticipating continued population and economic growth in Dover, the franchisee group noted that the downtown development plans and proximity to the Dover Air Force Base also drew them to the location. Additionally, they believe the restaurant sector is underserved in Dover and they’re confident the chain’s menu that includes chicken wings, wraps, fingers, nuggets and their signature “Sando” sandwich will be embraced by locals.

The chain has dozens of locations snaking up from Virgina, Washington DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia and through to New York, making expansion into the first state a natural step. The franchisee notes that the Delmarva peninsula could see up to six more locations in the coming years if current expansion plans continue.

Charles Rodriguez of R&R Commercial Realty, who brokered the deal, says with the addition of Hangry Joe’s the large Capital Station shopping center is almost completely full.

“It’s taken a few years to build it out and fill it up, but Capital Station has grown into one of Dover’s top business hubs,” he said. “It has a strong mix of business types now and it attracts consistent traffic. It’s come a long way from its past life as the old, shuttered Playtex factory.”
