Virtual Chicken Tender Concepts

Chase Elliott’s Chicken Tenders is a Virtual Restaurant by Hooters

— November 1, 2022 — Business
Hooters has further cemented its relationship with auto racer Chase Elliott to create a virtual restaurant concept called Chase Elliott’s Chicken Tenders.

Hooters calls itself 'The Official Home of Race Fans' so it makes perfect sense for the brand to align itself with racing superstar Chase Elliott. The new Chase Elliott’s Chicken Tenders concept is a virtual brand available exclusively for delivery through the third-party platforms DoorDash, Grubhub and Uber Eats. The new brand will sell Chase Elliott’s Chicken Tenders which come in 14 craveable sauce varieties. The virtual concept will also offer boneless wings, chicken sandwiches, buffalo chicken salads, and beverages. As Elliot himself says, "I’m excited to launch a menu that fuels fans’ love for delicious Hooters chicken, starters and sides. I have the best fans in the world, so I know they will enjoy trying this cool new concept and make an order for race day or during the week like I do."
