Chicken Salad Chick is continuing growth in Georgia with a restaurant opening June 15 in Thomasville. Located at 2551 E. Pinetree Blvd., it marks the brand's 33rd location in the state, with additional restaurants slated for later this year across Marietta, Atlanta, Bethlehem, Fayetteville and LaGrange, according to a company press release.

Husband-and-wife-team Bob and Carolyn Gosselin of St. George Hospitality Co. III are the multi-unit franchise owners bringing Chicken Salad Chick to Thomasville. With career backgrounds in real estate and marketing, the duo opened its first Chicken Salad Chick restaurant in Tallahassee in 2013.

"We have many devoted customers from Thomasville and the surrounding areas who have been visiting us in Tallahassee all along. Now, we're excited to be able to give them their Chick fix closer to home. It's also a bit of a homecoming for Carolyn, who was born in Thomasville and grew up around the corner in Monticello," Bob Gosselin said in the release. "From opening our first restaurant, it is very rewarding to see just how far the brand's fresh, flavorful food and unmatched hospitality has reached over the years and we are thrilled to be welcomed with open arms into a community like Thomasville."

Founded in Auburn, Alabama, Chicken Salad Chick has grown to more than 190 restaurants in 17 states.
