Multi-unit franchise owners David Harris, Ken Greene, Rand Jones and Bart Middlebrooks of SureChick, LLC debuted their first Chicken Salad Chick in 2012 on Airport Road in Columbus, quickly expanding in the market to Midland. They now own seven additional locations in Alabama and Kentucky. Operator Laney Brittingham managed Chicken Salad Chick restaurants for a decade before joining forces with this group two years ago and will be overseeing the Phenix City location as well.  

“Over the past 11 years of spreading joy, enriching lives and serving others in the Columbus market, our restaurant teams have consistently heard from guests asking us to bring Chicken Salad Chick to Phenix City. The time is finally here, and we appreciate the support of this fantastic community in helping to make it happen,” says Laney Brittingham. “We are thrilled to open this convenient location along Highway 280 and bring our made-from-scratch chicken salad to our regulars, new friends and travelers through the area.” 

This restaurant group enjoys giving back to important causes. With the Phenix City opening, they are supporting Habitat for Humanity as part of their pre-opening Friends & Family events.
