Nashville-Style Hot Chicken Arrives in Virginia



We are excited to announce the newest owner of HCK Chicken: Mohammad Al Khalili. A dedicated entrepreneur, Mohammad is enthusiastic about expanding his portfolio into the quick-service restaurant sector


Who Is Mohammad Al Khalili?

Residents of Virginia, Mohammad and his wife, Reem, are parents to four young children. With a degree in accounting, Mohammad has decades of business experience in the banking sector. These days, however, he enjoys working for himself. He is committed to the flexibility of self-employment and treasures the ability to carve out time to spend with his family. 


Why Did Mohammad Make a Career Change?

An entrepreneur at heart, Mohammad already owns a newly remodeled BP gas station. He came to FranCoach looking for a food-related business to operate inside his existing property. With 1,500 square feet to work with, Mohammad knew that he could benefit from the expert guidance and insight provided by FranCoach to find the brand that perfectly aligned with his needs, goals, and expectations. 


Mohammad already had a deep understanding of his space – he knew all of the numbers, traffic, and types of customers that were coming in and out of his retail convenience store every day. With a prime location on a main road across from a high school, he wanted to enhance his existing space with an emerging restaurant that would appeal to his clientele. 



Why Will Mohammad Make a Great Franchise Owner?

At FranCoach, Mohammad worked with Casey Floyd to navigate various food-related options and uncover the opportunity that would be his best fit. Here is what Casey has to say about why Mohammad is sure to succeed: 

“With his background in business and his detail-oriented nature, Mohammad started this process on the right foot. He has a high-level understanding of his existing business, he is motivated, and he has a clear direction in his career. Mohammad was a pleasure to work with and really knew the parameters of what he was looking for. With the knowledge and business acumen that he brought to the table, I can already tell this will be a great fit.”  


Why Did Mohammad Choose HCK Chicken?

HCK Chicken is known for its Nashville-style hot chicken – whether it’s sandwiches, tenders, or wings. From great food to great profits, HCK Chicken has it all. The brand offers franchisees strong support from the initial site selection to the grand opening and every day afterward. HCK stood out to Mohammad as an attractive option from the get-go, and he is excited to build out his property with this cult-favorite brand. 


As he participated in the Validation Process, Mohammad got the chance to meet HCK Chicken’s leadership team at an existing location in Northern Virginia. With the help of FranCoach’s Casey Floyd and HCK’s Jim Wood, Mohammad was able to pinpoint HCK Chicken as the ideal brand to take his existing real estate to the next level. 


Please join our team at FranCoach in congratulating Mohammad Al Khalili and wishing him luck as a new owner of HCK Chicken.
