Chicken Salad Chick is opening in Raleigh, North Carolina, marking the area's second location. The store, 2414 Wycliff Road, is inside the Food Lion shopping center, and offers seating for 90 and an outdoor patio for 50.

The store is owned by John Schuster and Mike Saccone, retired executives who spent the majority of their business careers working in the foodservice division at The Coca-Cola Company and opened their first Chick in Cary in 2020.

"So many of our Cary guests over the past three years travel from within Raleigh city limits and ask us when we're going to open closer to them," Schuster said in a company press release. "It's been our plan since our first days with Chicken Salad Chick to bring a total of six locations to the Triangle, so this is an exciting next step in our expansion goals."

Founded in Auburn, Alabama, by Stacy and Kevin Brown, in 2008, Chicken Salad Chick has grown to over 240 restaurants in 17 states.
