The fast-casual chicken salad chain has announced a multi-unit franchise agreement that will bring four restaurants to New Orleans.
The first location is slated to open in 2025 and the three additional locations are in various stages of development. The multi-unit deal adds to the brand’s existing footprint across the south, including 12 open locations in Louisiana.
The entrance into New Orleans bolsters Chicken Salad Chick’s presence in the south, with dozens of locations across Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Arkansas and Texas. Earlier this year, the chain said it was on track to open 40 stores by the end of 2024.
“It’s exciting to see Chicken Salad Chick enter a culinary hub like New Orleans,” said Mark Verges, VP of Franchise Development at Chicken Salad Chick. “New Orleans is a one-of-a-kind city that will love what Chicken Salad Chick has to offer. We’re thrilled to continue expanding our footprint and sharing our delicious menu items to new customers.”
