Help Chick N Jones Rise Again: A Story of Resilience and Community

Life has thrown us curveballs before, and we’ve met each challenge with determination and grit. This year, Chick N Jones faced another unexpected hurdle—a sudden closure of our beloved Wynwood location. Just as we were hitting our stride, changes in the space we called home forced us to shut our doors once again. But this isn’t the end. It’s a new beginning.

Chick N Jones was born in 2021, serving up soulful, chef-driven fried chicken from a food hall in Miami Beach. When that food hall unexpectedly closed in June 2023, we had just 30 days to pack up and find a new home. We found refuge in Wynwood, reopening in May 2024 with hope in our hearts and dreams of thriving once more. Yet, the new space’s direction shifted, leaving us displaced again.

I’ve built this brand on resilience and purpose, and I will not give up. Chick N Jones isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a movement, a mission, and a place where the community gathers to celebrate culture, connection, and incredible food.

A New Chapter Beckons

We are overjoyed to announce that Chick N Jones has secured an incredible new space in Miami. It’s a space that will house our kitchen and serve as a home for hope, second chances, and community. We need your support to open our doors by December 2024
