Chicken Salad Chick enters 15th state

June 13, 2019

Chicken Salad Chick is expanding to its 15th state next week with its first Illinois restaurant opening in Edwardsville. This is the brand's third location in the St. Louis area with existing restaurants in Chesterfield and Creve Coeur, according to a company press release. The brand has plans to continue focusing on Illinois expansion with an O'Fallon restaurant slated to open in 2020.
 
Located at 2323 Plum Street, the Edwardsville store is owned and operated by multi-unit franchise owner Hannah Lukowski of SJ Restaurants LLC, who owns three Firehouse Subs locations across Illinois and Missouri.
 
"As a mother to a beautiful baby girl, with my second child on the way, the brand's values really resonate with me and I'm proud to bring this concept to Illinois," Lukowski said in the release. "The residents in Edwardsville are in for a pleasant surprise and I can't wait to watch Chicken Salad Chick first-timers turn into loyal regulars."
 
Stacy Brown founded Chicken Salad Chick in 2008, in Auburn, Alabama, and it now has 124 restaurants.
