Scratch-Made Success, Served from the Heart
What started as a small takeout restaurant in 2008 in Auburn, AL, has quickly grown throughout the Southeast and is now paving the way for entrepreneurs across the country. We are uniquely positioned in the fast-casual space and the only restaurant concept that specializes in fresh, house-made chicken salad and offers three distinct revenue streams: dine-In, takeout and off-premise sales opportunities. We bring this one-of-a-kind experience to life in our welcoming neighborhood restaurants by using top-quality ingredients and specializing in a wide variety of desserts, sandwiches, soups, and – of course – chicken salad that’s scratch-prepared daily.
We’re Invested in the Business
Approximately 70% of Chicken Salad Chick locations are franchised, with the remaining 30% being company-owned. A proven model and healthy culture are attractive to our franchise owners who continue to help propel our brand’s expansion through multi-unit growth opportunities.
Under the leadership of CEO Scott Deviney, franchising has taken off in a major way. Chicken Salad Chick boasts 200+ restaurants across 17 states and continues to grow at a rapid rate. We are on pace to surpass 250 locations in 2023. We are proud to offer craveable, scratch-prepared meals to guests throughout the South, and are on our way to becoming America’s favorite place for chicken salad.
