“Our team is excited to keep expanding with Chicken Salad Chick, bringing this brand’s signature focus on enriching lives and serving others to more communities in my home state of North Carolina,” says Jonah Greenup, operating partner of Chicken Salad Chick Jacksonville. “There’s so much to love about Jacksonville’s coastal culture and military connections. We waited a long time for the right site and were thrilled when this Fazoli’s building became available. Now we can’t wait to open our doors and become Jacksonville’s new go-to spot for lunch, dinner and convenient catering.”

As part of the pre-opening Friends & Family events, the Jacksonville restaurant is supporting CURE Childhood Cancer. Chicken Salad Chick’s Annual Giving Card and numerous other events and programs throughout the year reinforce the Chicken Salad Chick Foundation’s mission to help raise money to find a cure for cancer, as well as giving back to local food banks and food-related charities.
