 Haven Hot Chicken, the award-winning Nashville-style Hot Chicken concept known for crispy, crave-worthy chicken,  inclusive hospitality and a deep commitment to giving back to the community, is excited to announce the grand reopening of its Norwalk location (596 Westport Avenue) on Saturday, July 12, 2025 at 11am. To mark the occasion, Haven will debut a fully upgraded store experience and is teaming up for a one-day-only menu collaboration with culinary provocateur, The Vulgar Chef, known for his wildly inventive, no-holds-barred food creations.  The refreshed location features upgraded service flow, a revamped interior design, and enhancements focused on speed, efficiency, and in-store hospitality.

“This reopening is more than a facelift – it’s a full guest experience upgrade – to make it faster, more fun and the best place to experience what makes our brand so special,” said Jason Sobocinski, President and Co-Founder of Haven Hot Chicken.  “This location is now a space that pushes flavor boundaries and lives up to the craveable, high-energy vibe that defines Haven, and Saturday’s celebration is our way of saying thank you to the Norwalk community and inviting everyone back to see what’s new.”

Highlights of the Grand Reopening include

  • A new, modernized interior and streamlined service experience.
  • Exclusive, limited-time Vulgar Chef x Haven collab menu item, only available July 12 (supplies are limited).  Visit Haven Hot Chicken’s social media channels for a sneak peek.
  • Live DJ spinning from 11am-3pm.
