Chicken Salad Chick, the nation’s only fast-casual chicken salad restaurant concept, recently signed a franchise agreement to bring four restaurants to New Orleans, with the first location scheduled to open next year. The deal adds to the brand’s existing footprint across the south, including 12 open locations in Louisiana.
Chicken Salad Chick has a strong presence across the South, with dozens of locations in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Arkansas, and Texas. The four new locations will be the first Chicken Salad Chicken franchises in New Orleans, reports Nation's Restaurant News.
Earlier this year, the chain said it was on track to open 40 stores by the end of 2024.
“It’s exciting to see Chicken Salad Chick enter a culinary hub like New Orleans,” said Mark Verges, VP of franchise development at Chicken Salad Chick. “New Orleans is a one-of-a-kind city that will love what Chicken Salad Chick has to offer. We’re thrilled to continue expanding our footprint and sharing our delicious menu items to new customers.”
Founded in Auburn, Ala. in 2008, Chicken Salad Chick operates more than 270 restaurants in 19 states.
