Chicken Salad Chick

Chicken Salad Chick is a fast-casual restaurant chain specializing in Southern-style chicken salad, founded in 2008 by Stacy and Kevin Brown in Auburn, Alabama. The company relocated its headquarters to Atlanta, Georgia, in early 2021, with its main office located at 2839 Paces Ferry Rd SE STE 500, Atlanta, GA 30339-5732. The brand's mission is to spread joy, enrich lives, and serve others through its food and hospitality, emphasizing a welcoming atmosphere and scratch-made offerings.

The restaurant concept is known for its diverse menu featuring over a dozen original chicken salad flavors, each named after an important woman in founder Stacy Brown's life. These are served by the scoop, sandwich, or bowl, alongside fresh sides, gourmet soups, sandwiches, desserts, and catering options. The menu also includes homemade pimento cheese and egg salad, all prepared fresh daily using premium chicken tenderloin and a unique blend of spices.

Chicken Salad Chick is a privately held company, with a majority interest acquired by the private equity firm Brentwood Associates in 2019. The company has experienced rapid expansion, growing to over 335 restaurants across 23 states. Recent developments include numerous new store openings in states like South Carolina, Colorado, Arkansas, Kansas, Texas, and Maryland in 2026, and a landmark 25-unit development deal signed for New York in May 2026. The brand was recognized as No. 3 on Fast Casual's 2026 Top 100 Movers & Shakers List and launched a loyalty program in October 2024. Scott Deviney serves as the CEO.
