The new Crimson Coward Nashville Hot Chicken store at 525 East Market Street, Suite A, Leesburg invites the community to attend its ribbon cutting ceremony at 12 p.m. Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
The store opens at 11 a.m. and the first 25 dine-in customers will receive two complimentary chicken tenders with their order. All other customers that day will enjoy a 20 percent discount on in-store orders. Those attending can sign up for a drawing to receive prizes of Apple iPads and AirPods (need not be present to win).
Kamal Elias, franchisee for the new 1,700-square-foot restaurant said, “I ate at the Woodbridge location, and enjoyed the food so much I bid to open my own store here. We invite everyone to stop by, check out our open kitchen, and enjoy our Nashville hot chicken.”
The Los Angeles-based chicken joint has stores in Virginia, Maryland, California, Michigan, Texas and Washington.
Every Crimson Coward Nashville Hot Chicken joint offers a variety of hand cut, marinated chicken meals and tempting homemade sides and is dedicated to creating a unique dining experience with an open kitchen design. It begins with fresh food cooked in front of guests and made to order so every meal is hot and tender. Each piece of the freshly prepared chicken is hand breaded and finished with the heat level of the guest’s choice: country, which has no heat, mild, medium, Crimson-hot, and Burrrrn Baby Burn for those looking to fire up their taste buds.
“Local communities have really embraced the fresh Nashville hot chicken bold flavors and unique open kitchen setup of Crimson Coward,” said Elias. “The Leesburg location expands the Crimson Coward footprint in the DMV area, and beyond. We look forward to being a part of the community.”
Store hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day. Customers can also download the Crimson Coward Nashville Hot Chicken app or order online.
