The fast-growing and increasingly popular chicken salad restaurant brand opened 30 new restaurants in 2021.
The opening of these restaurants in key target markets throughout last year resulted in a 17 per cent increase in unit count year-over-year. The openings included market debuts with multiple locations in Indianapolis, Western Virginia and South Florida.
Moving into 2022 the brand, which currently operates more than 200 locations in 17 states, has plans to open 50 new restaurants in 2022, with the Midwest identified as one of the key areas being targeted for development.
“There were challenges in 2021, but our brand grew right past them by expanding our continued focus on the Chick experience,” said Scott Deviney, CEO, Chicken Salad Chick. “Whether through in-restaurant dining, takeout, drive-thru, catering or third-party delivery, we brought our flavourful, made-from-scratch favourites to new and existing guests. Our sales and development momentum is setting us up for another strong year of enriching lives and serving others.”
