A picture is worth a thousand words, but Dave’s Hot Chicken is worth almost a billion dollars! But how did we get from a brand with one location and no national team to a household name? One of those reasons is Shannon Swenson, MBA, CFE, our SVP of Development! Hear from her as she talks about growing with Dave’s since our humble beginnings.
