The Team Behind KRATE's Bacon Boss Is Opening a Second Restaurant — Meet Chicken Boss, Coming to Wesley Chapel

WESLEY CHAPEL, FL — If you're a fan of Bacon Boss at KRATE at The Grove, get ready. The same team is opening a brand-new restaurant right at KRATE called Chicken Boss — and the concept is exactly what it sounds like.

The owners of Bacon Boss announced the news on social media: "We're so excited to announce that Bacon Boss is opening a second restaurant at the Krates. Introducing… The Chicken Boss. Our menu is going to be centered on hand breaded chicken tenders."

What to Expect

• Hand-breaded chicken tenders as the centerpiece of the menu

• Bold flavors from a team that already proved their poultry skills with their popular fried chipotle BBQ wings at Bacon Boss

• A KRATE-style setup inside a mural-covered shipping container

• Fast turnaround from announcement to opening — KRATE concepts typically move quickly

Why It's Worth Getting Excited About in Wesley Chapel

Bacon Boss specializes in massive bacon burgers, jumbo fried onion rings, and crispy bacon platters — and goes heavy on the blue cheese. If Chicken Boss brings that same energy to tenders, it's going to be a serious contender at KRATE's already stacked food lineup.

📍 KRATE at The Grove — 5817 Wesley Grove Blvd, Wesley Chapel, FL 33544

📅 Opening date TBD — follow @chickenboss on Instagram for updates
