Dave’s Hot Chicken is leasing space at one of the city’s busiest intersections and plans to open by year’s end.

The Pasadena, California-based hot-chicken franchise will lease part of the former Spin Street space in the Poplar Plaza Shopping Center.

The franchisees signed a lease with the plaza’s owner, Finard Properties, for the 2,548-square-foot space at 3484 Poplar Ave. after looking at Memphis sites for the past eight months.
