January 6, 2021

Chicken Salad Chick, a fast casual chicken salad chain, will open a location in O'Fallon, Illinois on Jan. 13. This is the third location in the state and the fourth in the St. Louis metro area, according to a press release.

The chain is planning multiple socially distant events for the opening event, including a chance to win free chicken salad for a year. The first 50 people to arrive in line at 10:30 a.m. will receive a number and one will be drawn as winner.

The store will hold additional events throughout opening week including:

• Jan. 14, first 50 guests at 10:30 a.m. and first 50 at 4:30 p.m. to purchase a Chicken Trio will get a free Chick fleece blanket.
• Jan. 15, the first 50 guests at 10:30 a.m. and the first 50 guests at 4:30 p.m. to purchase a Chick Trio will receive a free Chick winter hat.
• Jan. 16, the first 50 guests to purchase two large Quick Chicks will receive a free Chick tumbler.

"A little over six months after we opened our Edwardsville restaurant, our normal day-to-day changed but it quickly became apparent that we had the support of the entire community. From consistently ordering take-out and boosting demand of our Quick Chick community drop-offs to supporting our new Quick Chicks for a Cause program, we were able to continue serving the greater St. Louis area and give back to those who never stopped supporting us," Hannah Lukowski, franchise owner, SJ Restaurants, said in the release. "Now, we're thrilled to kick off 2021 by bringing Chicken Salad Chick to O'Fallon and can't wait to continue sharing our beloved brand across St. Louis in what we like the call the coziest grand opening ever as we all ramp up for winter."

Chicken Salad Chick has more than 175 restaurants in 17 states.
