Chicken Salad Chick is opening next week in West Little Rock, Arkansas, marking its sixth restaurant in the state and third in the Little Rock area, following an opening in North Little Rock last May. Located at 17400 Chenal Parkway., the store features a drive-thru and patio seating.

Emily Gray and business partner Hudson Sandefur, of Little Rocking Chick LLC, are the multi-unit franchising duo behind the expansion in Little Rock. The two met when Gray was working as a corporate trainer for the brand and Sandefur was opening several locations across Mississippi and Tennessee.

"Hudson and I opened our first Chicken Salad Chick together in June 2020, and the Benton community really supported us throughout all of the pandemic challenges that came with that timing," Gray said in a press release. "We are forever grateful for those guests and our amazing team members who share our passion for service. It's been an honor to keep growing this business, expanding into North Little Rock and now this new location on the west side of our great city."

Chicken Salad Chick has over 220 restaurants in 17 states.
