More money means more jobs to Hot Chicken Takeover owner Joe DeLoss — as many as 150 new jobs in the next few years, according to a recent article in Columbus Business First. The popular Nashville-style spicy chicken restaurant’s successful business model is evidenced by the lines of customers drawn to its North Market location, but the company has a social mission as well, “taking individuals who have had trouble finding jobs and giving them not only employment but also loans and other financial help to stabilize their lives,” according to the article. That social mission impressed Kentucky-based Access Ventures, “which has taken an undisclosed minority stake in the company.” That investment, plus others from “local sources DeLoss previously amassed,” will help “add three or four new restaurants in the next several years,” adding to the 50 people currently employed. “We want to have 200 jobs by 2019. That’s 200 people. That’s the real impact,” DeLoss said. For more, read the full article.
