Fueling the Fort Worth area expansion are experienced multi-unit operators Meggie and John Schissler of J&M Hospitality, LLC. Following their third Chicken Salad Chick opening in Burleson just four months ago and upcoming opening in Fort Worth-Ridglea Village, the Schisslers have plans to develop four more restaurants over the next few years. The duo got their franchising start following Meggie’s time working on Chicken Salad Chick’s marketing team. In the two years she spent in the role, she gained extensive knowledge on the brand and fell so much in love with the concept that she and John decided to open their own. The Schissler’s continued growth and success with their restaurants in Fort Worth, Hurst and Burleson has made them standouts in the fast-casual industry, while earning them a spot on QSR Magazine’s 2019 Young Leaders to Watch list.
“Four years ago, John and I were opening Chicken Salad Chick’s first Texas location and now we’re able to celebrate our fourth opening in our home state,” says Meggie Schissler. “Franchising with Chicken Salad Chick and serving these amazing communities throughout the Fort Worth area has been such a rewarding experience. We’re thrilled to continue our growth in our favorite state and bring the brand’s fresh and flavorful chicken salad to even more neighborhoods throughout Northern Texas.”
The Chicken Salad Chick concept was established in 2008 by founder, Stacy Brown. Under the leadership of CEO Scott Deviney and the Chicken Salad Chick team, the company now has more than 145 restaurants currently open in 16 states.
