Chicken Salad Chick will enter its 23rd state when it opens a restaurant Tuesday in Pleasant Grove, Utah.

The restaurant, 2093 W. Pleasant Grove Blvd., marks the chain's first location in Utah and the first Chicken Salad Chick restaurant operated by franchisee MV&R Legacy Partners LLC. The franchise group, led by Michael and Rylan Mills, plans to develop six locations in Utah County and seven additional restaurants in Arizona. The group's Tommy Richardson and Trent Valentine will oversee the expansion beginning in 2027.

The Utah opening follows several recent growth announcements from the brand, including a new restaurant in Palm Coast, Florida, and a 25-unit franchise agreement covering upstate New York.

"Expanding into Utah and achieving operations in 23 states has been a very meaningful milestone for our team," CEO and President Scott Deviney said in a press release. "Partnering with new franchise owners like Michael and Rylan, who embody our core values and have a genuine passion for serving their community, makes this news even more exciting. We're thrilled to be growing here and confident our dining experience will resonate with guests across the state."

Chicken Salad Chick operates over 335 restaurants across 23 states and continues to expand through franchising.
