NFL Star Randy Moss is scaling his presence in the restaurant space.
As previously reported by AFROTECH™, Moss became an investor in Brittany Tolliferreo’s Philadelphia, PA-based restaurant chain, Chick-A-Boom, in 2023. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Tolliferreo reached out to Moss via direct message, and then he later liked a sponsored Chick-A-Boom post in 2022, sparking further conversation.
“We got on a couple of Zoom calls, and he came here, tasted the product, and loved it. From there, he became my partner,” she told the outlet.
Speaking on the investment in a press release, Moss commented:
“I’m a chicken lover. Not only was I impressed by the food, but after hearing Brittany’s story and understanding that a lot of our same goals and morals align, it was only right to invest.”
Today, Moss is expanding his involvement in the company, now operating under the name Crisppi’s Chicken. In December 2023, he brought the restaurant to his home state with the help of Tolliferreo and Kirk Hightower, who serves as a partner.
“For the first time I found a a great product with Brittany and Kirk out of Pennsylvania and they just told me how good their product was and tasted the product and within the first 10 to 15 seconds the first thing I looked in Kirk’s eyes and I said ‘I have to bring this home back to my people,'” he said at the time in a video shared by Spiced Up Productions.
What’s more, Moss is set to bring the restaurant to Florida in January 2025, according to a press release shared with AFROTECH™.
Menu items are described to deliver an “explosive flavor” and will include chicken sandwiches, chicken wings, chicken and waffles, chicken nuggets, and more.
“At Crisppi’s, we believe every meal should be an unforgettable experience. Therefore, our menu brings you a celebration of flavors, bringing together the finest ingredients, secret spices, and a passion for perfection in every dish,” Moss said in the release.
The restaurant will welcome customers in Miami’s downtown, located at 2917 Biscayne Blvd. A soft opening will be held and will welcome celebrities, athletes, and tastemakers in the city.
