Then, on Wednesday, March 27, the first 50 guests to buy a Chick Special at opening and the first 50 to do so again at 6 p.m. will be enrolled in the Free Chicken Salad of the Month Club, whose members get a free chicken salad scoop monthly for a year.

The Starkville restaurant is owned and operated by first-time Chicken Salad Chick franchisee Eric Hallberg of HP Restaurant, Llc.

"As an alumnus of Mississippi State University, opening a restaurant in the city of Starkville (where the school is located) was important to me. I knew I wanted to introduce students to a unique concept that catered to their active lifestyles and Chicken Salad Chick fit the bill," Hallberg said in the release. "With takeout offerings, a drive-thru and a convenient location, Chicken Salad Chick is the perfect addition to this growing college town."
