Chicken Salad Chick expands Louisiana footprint

December 6, 2019

Alexandria, Louisiana is the latest home for a Chicken Salad Chick restaurant and marks the fast casual brand's seventh location in the state.

The southern-inspired restaurant is planning two other Louisiana stores, one in Baton Rouge and another in Ruston in 2020, according to a press release. The Alexandria restaurant is located at 1024 MacArthur Dr. and features a drive-thru. The brand will offer free chicken salad for a year to the first 100 guests on Wednesday, Dec. 18 and is running several other grand-opening promotions.

The Alexandria restaurant is owned and operated by first time Chicken Salad Chick franchise owners, Dustin and Christina Goynes of CSC Alexandria, LLC. The husband-and-wife team previously operated a Home Instead Senior Care location and currently manage Shelter Insurance Agency of Alexandria.

"Christina and I were introduced to Chicken Salad Chick two years ago on a camping trip and we've been hooked ever since," said Dustin Goynes in the release. "We knew the concept would be a perfect fit in Alexandria, as Chicken Salad Chick is so much more than a restaurant, it's a sense of community. Our friends, family and fellow residents are going to love all that Chicken Salad Chick is and we can't wait to be a part of it."

"We're excited for Christina and Dustin to open their Chicken Salad Chick! They are servant-hearted and eagerly serve others, which makes them a perfect fit for our business and brand," said Stacy Brown, who founded Chicken Salad Chick in 2008, in the release.
