Atlanta — Chicken Salad Chick, the nation’s only fast-casual chicken salad restaurant concept, plans to open its first restaurant in New York, which will expand the brand’s footprint to 27 states. The grand opening will take place on Sept. 22 at The Shops at Village Plaza in Clifton Park, N.Y.
Chicken Salad Chick of Clifton Park is the first restaurant to open under a 25-unit franchise agreement bringing locations to the Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and the Upper Hudson Valley areas across New York. The agreement represents Chicken Salad Chick’s largest franchise development deal to date and is being spearheaded by an experienced, multi-unit fast-casual restaurant group already operating several national restaurant brands in the Upstate New York market.
“Entering New York is a major milestone for Chicken Salad Chick. It represents tremendous growth potential for our brand, and we’re already seeing strong demand,” says Scott Deviney, CEO and president of Chicken Salad Chick. “This opening expands our footprint to 27 states and marks our fifth new state entry this year, following openings in Utah, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.”
The new Clifton Park restaurant offers in-restaurant dining, take-out, third-party delivery and catering options.
Chicken Salad Chick has grown to more than 345 restaurants across 27 states. For more information, visit www.chickensaladchick.com.
