A popular chicken restaurant is making significant strides towards opening a new Memphis-area location. Hattie B’s has applied for an important permit that brings it one step closer to opening its Poplar Avenue location next year, reports the Memphis Business Journal.
Hattie B’s has submitted an application for a commercial new construction permit with the Memphis and Shelby County Division of Planning and Development for 7662 Poplar Avenue. The restaurant, opening as part of the Germantown Village Square, will span 2,975 square feet.
Of course, the question foremost on future customers’ minds is when, precisely, the restaurant will be ready to welcome guests. Hattie B’s chief development officer Dave Oster provides locals with a bit of a countdown clock, saying that the eatery aims to open in summer of 2027.
Founded in 2012, Hattie B’s has become a fixture on the Southern chicken scene. The website offers a tantalizing taste of its menu, which features: “Plump, juicy birds flavored down to the bone no matter your heat level.Southern sides scratch-made daily. Ice-cold beer from your favorite local breweries. Top it all off with creamy banana pudding or peach cobbler for dessert.”
