Chicken Salad Chick is expanding to Missouri with its first restaurant opening in Chesterfield. On the heels of opening 20 stores across 10 states in 2018, the opening of this company-owned restaurant signifies a development milestone for the brand, marking its entrance into the Midwest and 13th state, Scott Deviney, CEO of Chicken Salad Chick, said in a company press release.
"Chicken Salad Chick has developed into a regional powerhouse in the Southeast, but it's become apparent that our Southern hospitality and unique chicken salad flavors are being craved beyond the region as well," Deviney said. "Missouri's genuine excitement for our brand make it the perfect market to kick off our Midwest expansion and we look forward to showing residents in Chesterfield what Chicken Salad Chick is all about."
Chicken Salad Chick has plans to open an additional restaurant in Creve Coeur this year, with restaurants in Ohio and Illinois also slated to make a debut. Located at 17215 Chesterfield Airport Road, the restaurant features a drive-thru and will open Tuesday. The first 150 guests will receive free chicken salad for one year.
The Chicken Salad Chick concept, born in Auburn, was established in 2008, in the kitchen of founder, Stacy Brown. The company now has 105 restaurants open across the U.S.
