Our Beginnings
Chicken Salad Chick was founded in 2008 by Stacy and Kevin Brown in Auburn, Alabama. Over time, they refined their recipe, turning their love for chicken salad into a thriving business. Today, Chicken Salad Chick stands proudly as the nation’s only fast-casual restaurant concept dedicated exclusively to fresh made chicken salad, offering a variety of flavors, along with sandwiches, fresh sides, gourmet soups, and delectable desserts. What sets Chicken Salad Chick apart is the personal touch that infuses every aspect of our menu. The unique flavors you see are more than just names—they represent real people who have touched Stacy’s life. Each named flavor is a tribute to these “real-life Chicks,” and through our menu, we celebrate their stories, allowing our guests to connect with and enjoy them as much as we do. At Chicken Salad Chick, it’s all about bringing people together, one scoop at a time.
Our Purpose
While we offer craveable, made-from scratch food and Southern hospitality in every restaurant, we say that our true purpose is to:

SERVE OTHERS
Our restaurants are deeply committed to giving back to the communities we serve through various philanthropic initiatives. Each restaurant hosts a Friends & Family Event before the grand opening to raise funds for the local non-profit organization of their choice. We continue giving back through partnerships with schools, local businesses, hospitals, and other organizations to help our communities however we can.
