Chicken Salad Chick is reopening its relocated restaurant next week in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. After over five years of operating in Northcutt Plaza Shopping Center, the brand is moving two doors down to a larger space featuring a drive-thru and expanded dining room seating, according to a company press release.

Behind the relocation is multi-unit franchise owner duo Julie Beville and Michelle Singleton of Sing Bev Hospitality LLC. With previous careers in sales, marketing and time spent as stay-at-home moms, Beville and Singleton had been longtime patrons of Chicken Salad Chick before joining the brand. After meeting the Chicken Salad Chick's founder, Stacy Brown, Beville and Singleton were inspired by her triumph and related to her journey, deciding to expand the brand across the Carolinas. The team opened its first Chicken Salad Chick in Greenville in 2013 and has since grown to 13 locations throughout North and South Carolina, with a new restaurant in Rock Hill, South Carolina, slated to open this fall.

"Michelle and I are so proud to reflect on our growth with Chicken Salad Chick. Through each location across the Carolinas, we have come to understand our Chick fans more and more every day. Specifically, our Mount Pleasant restaurant has become a place for guests to enjoy a fresh meal while sharing loving moments with friends and family," Julie Beville said. "We've always wanted to offer our Mount Pleasant guests the enhanced dining experience they craved and couldn't pass on the opportunity when the space became available to expand our dining room and offer drive-thru to our Chick fans!"

Founded in Auburn, Alabama, Chicken Salad Chick has grown to more than 200 restaurants in 17 states.
