Atlanta — Chicken Salad Chick, the nation’s only Southern-inspired, fast-casual chicken salad restaurant concept, will open its 200th location in LaGrange, Ga., on August 11. The milestone follows a robust pipeline of development, with Chicken Salad Chick already welcoming over 20 new locations in the first half of 2021 alone. Under the leadership of CEO Scott Deviney, the brand has doubled its footprint in just 3 years.
Located at 1509 Lafayette Pkwy and featuring a drive-thru, the LaGrange restaurant will celebrate its grand opening on August 11 by offering free chicken salad for a year to the first 100 guests.
“When I became CEO of Chicken Salad Chick in 2015, the brand had 32 locations across six states. I am so incredibly proud to now celebrate our 200th opening, just 6 years later. Our hard-working franchise owners, company team members and support-center staff are dedicated to making the most of each guest’s experience and are the true pillars of the brand,” says Deviney. “We always come back to our core values to spread joy, enrich lives and serve others, as we enter each new market. We’re looking ahead to what the future holds for the brand and continuing to work toward our ultimate goal of celebrating the opening of 500 locations by 2025.”
Behind the milestone opening is first-time franchise owner and former Chicken Salad Chick corporate employee, Allison Bradford, of 2B Continued, LLC. Bradford will open the restaurant with her husband, Bo, in their hometown of LaGrange, with the support of Bo’s parents, John and Nancy.
Founded in Auburn, Ala., by Stacy and Kevin Brown in 2008, Chicken Salad Chick has grown to more than 200 restaurants in 17 states. The company recently moved its headquarters to Atlanta. For more information, visit www.chickensaladchick.com.
