Nashville hot chicken chain Hattie B’s Hot Chicken has taken yet another step forward to open a new location in Germantown. The upcoming location was announced in summer of 2025. According to a Hattie B's spokesperson, the target timeline for the restaurant to open is summer 2027 with construction on track to begin on mid-December.
