“Kathleen and I tried Chicken Salad Chick for the first time in Auburn and instantly became huge fans of the brand,” said Ronald. “With delicious homemade chicken salad flavors, a welcome atmosphere and passionate team, we knew this unique concept would be a perfect fit in our hometown of Katy. We are thrilled to be introducing Chicken Salad Chick to our family and friends and know they’ll love it just as much as we do.”

The Chicken Salad Chick concept was established in 2008 by founder, Stacy Brown. In 2015, Eagle Merchant Partners purchased a majority stake in Chicken Salad Chick, and under the leadership of CEO Scott Deviney and team, the company now has 119 restaurants currently open in 13 states.
