Chicken Salad Chick expanding in Texas
January 14, 2020
Chicken Salad Chick is adding a location in Fort Worth, Texas' Ridglea Village. Following the brand's debut in Arlington last month, this unit marks its seventh Dallas-Fort Worth area opening, emphasizing the brand's continued growth in the metroplex. Located at 6124 Camp Bowie Blvd., it will celebrate its grand opening Jan. 28 and will offer free chicken salad for a year to the first 100 guests, according to a company press release.
Fueling the Fort Worth area expansion are multi-unit operators Meggie and John Schissler of J&M Hospitality. Following their third Chicken Salad Chick opening in Burleson just four months ago and upcoming opening in Fort Worth-Ridglea Village, the Schisslers have plans to develop four more restaurants over the next few years. The duo got their franchising start following Meggie's time working on Chicken Salad Chick's marketing team. In the two years she spent in the role, she fell so much in love with the concept that she and John decided to open their own.
"Four years ago, John and I were opening Chicken Salad Chick's first Texas location and now we're able to celebrate our fourth opening in our home state," Meggie Schissler said in the release. "Franchising with Chicken Salad Chick and serving these amazing communities throughout the Fort Worth area has been such a rewarding experience. We're thrilled to continue our growth in our favorite state and bring the brand's fresh and flavorful chicken salad to even more neighborhoods throughout Northern Texas."
Chicken Salad Chick concept was established in 2008 and now has more than 145 restaurants open in 16 states.
