Trini Hot Chicken Opens at Gulf City Mall, Attracts Enthusiastic Crowd with Launch Festivities

Trini Hot Chicken has officially opened its new location at Gulf City Mall, marking a significant expansion for the popular food brand into south Trinidad. The restaurant launched on Friday, August 21, 2026, attracting a large crowd eager to experience the celebrated Nashville-style hot chicken.

The new outlet, sitting opposite Galactica in the mall, was adorned with balloons and a striking red-and-black color scheme to celebrate the occasion. Patrons gathered in droves, enjoying various opening day activities, including sampling opportunities and prize giveaways. The event extended into Saturday, offering even more chances for customers to engage with the brand.

This expansion brings Trini Hot Chicken’s signature offerings closer to the hearts of southern Trinidadians, eliminating the need to travel north to its locations in Trincity Mall and The Falls at Westmall. The new Gulf City Mall location is poised to become a dining hotspot, adding to the mall’s diverse entertainment and shopping options.

In the lead-up to the grand opening, Trini Hot Chicken utilized its social media platforms to generate buzz, inviting locals to visit and partake in the launch festivities. The enthusiastic turnout suggests a strong initial interest in the brand’s southern venture.

With the new store now open, Trini Hot Chicken offers San Fernando and surrounding communities a convenient option to enjoy its locally branded, spicy chicken cuisine, further cementing its presence in Trinidad’s culinary landscape.
