'Fastest Growing' Nashville Hot Chicken Chain Coming To Worcester
WORCESTER, MA — A rapidly expanding chain of Nashville hot chicken restaurants will soon expand to Worcester.
Dave’s Hot Chicken — which has billed itself as “America’s fastest growing restaurant chain” — has applied for a license to operate a restaurant at 41 Park Ave., according to this week’s License Commission agenda. That address is the Trolley Square plaza, sandwiched between Park and Grove Street.
Dave’s might also be the fastest-growing restaurant chain in Massachusetts. Over the past year, the chain has opened restaurants in Framingham and Braintree, but has seven other locations in the state in Boston (Dorchester and Chinatown), Saugus, Chelmsford, Woburn, Newton and Medford.
The chain only got its start in 2017 as a pop-up restaurant in a Hollywood parking lot. The musician Drake has invested heavily in the chain, helping it to expand to more than 30 other states and Washington, DC. Boston Red Sox owner Tom Werner has also invested in the chain.
The Worcester License Commission will hold a hearing on the restaurant Thursday morning. The restaurant is proposing hours of 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday, and 11 a.m. to midnight Thursday through Saturday.

Mother charged with two murders heading back to Massachusetts – VTDigger
A mother charged with two counts of murder after the deaths of her two young children agreed Monday in Rutland County Superior Court to be transferred to Massachusetts, where she will face the charges.
The Massachusetts State Police have charged Janette MacAusland, 49, with murdering her two children, ages 6 and 7, after they were found dead at their home in Wellesley, Massachusetts, Friday.
According to a Bennington police press release, MacAusland arrived at a relative’s home in Vermont on Friday night with a neck injury, bleeding and appearing “highly distraught.”
The relatives called the Bennington police, who then prompted police in Wellesley, Massachusetts, to check on MacAusland’s children. Both were found dead. No details have been released about the cause or manner of death.
The Bennington Police Department arrested MacAusland and took her to Marble Valley Correctional Facility in Rutland, where she has been held without bail.
Appearing virtually in court Monday, MacAusland agreed to waive her right to a hearing and be immediately transferred back to Norfolk County in Massachusetts.
“She’s decided that the best thing is to get back to Massachusetts as soon as possible and address these charges,” Jeff Rubin, her attorney, said at the hearing.
The children’s deaths follow a custody battle between MacAusland and her former husband, according to the Associated Press. MacAusland’s husband filed for divorce in October after nine years of marriage and sought custody of the children and family home.
