Chicken Salad Chick

About Chicken Salad Chick

Chicken Salad Chick, the nation’s only southern inspired, fast casual chicken salad restaurant concept was founded in 2008 in Auburn, Alabama by Stacy and Kevin Brown. What started as a small takeout restaurant has quickly grown through the Southeast. Our foFranchises Unders instilled a strong culture of hospitality where we pride ourselves on delivering Southern Style Chicken Salad Served from the Heart.

Chicken Salad Chick is uniquely positioned in the fast casual space in that no other restaurant concept specializes in fresh, house-made chicken salad. The concept truly offers a one of a kind experience. We use the highest quality ingredients offering guests a neighborhood restaurant experience, specializing in a wide variety of fresh, house-made chicken salads, soups, sandwiches and desserts. Approximately 75% of Chicken Salad Chick locations are franchised with the remaining 25% being company owned. Our franchise owners are carefully selected, ensuring that the Chick culture is maintained to the highest degree.

The brand was recently named as the 37th fastest growing privately held company by Inc. 5000 & the Top Chicken Salad in the Country in the March/April issue of Cooking with Paula Deen.
