Dave’s Hot Chicken is ushering in summer with the launch of its new Top-Loaded Shakes.
While Dave’s Hot Chicken may be best known as a pop-up turned hot chicken sensation, the brand is now giving fans another delicious offering to enjoy. Its new Top-Loaded Shakes allow fans to take one of the chain's delicious Ice Cream Shakes in their choice of Vanilla, Chocolate, or Strawberry, and then add in Oreo Cookie Pieces or crumbled M&Ms. As Jim Bitticks, President and COO of Dave’s Hot Chicken, explains, "Our new Top-Loaded Shakes are the perfect way to cool down after enjoying some of Dave’s hot, crispy and juicy chicken."
The new Top-Loaded Shakes are available now from participating Dave’s Hot Chicken locations and cost just $2 more than a regular Ice Cream Shake.
