Haven Hot Chicken Storrs Grand Opening Celebration

Haven Hot Chicken brings Nashville-style Hot Chicken and “Not Chicken” to Connecticut and is one of the first fully dedicated Nashville-style Hot Chicken concepts in New England. With locations in downtown New Haven (21 Whitney Avenue), Orange (550 Boston Post Road), Norwalk (596 Westport Avenue), North Haven (146 Washington Avenue), Storrs (1206 Storrs Road), Middletown (coming soon to 524 Main Street) and Newington (coming soon to 12 Fenn Road), the concept was founded in 2020 by local restaurateurs Rob LaTronica (UCONN ’10), Craig Sklar (UCONN ’08), Jason Sobocinski and Etkin Tekin.
Serving hot chicken and its “not chicken” vegetarian option, ranging from not spicy to very spicy, the menu is rounded out by traditional southern sides and seasonal limited-time offerings. The restaurant’s convenient locations offer easy online ordering, pickup access and a sizable delivery radius for the surrounding area. Community initiatives include a long-term fundraising partnership with Connecticut Foodshare through “The Great Banana Pudding Drive,” and a commitment to sustainability utilizing biodegradable and compostable silverware, biodegradable and compostable paper packaging produced in the United States, and recyclable packaging beverage options. The restaurant was highlighted in 2023 as one of the “8 Fast-Food Chains that Serve the Best Hot Chicken” around the country by Eat This, Not That!, and winner of The Perfect Pitch concept competition at the 2023 Fast Casual Executive Summit.
