Southern fast-casual restaurant concept to open first Birmingham area restaurant
Birmingham, AL — Chicken Salad Chick, the nation’s newest, fast-casual restaurant concept, is opening its first Birmingham area restaurant. The new restaurant is located in the Village at Lee Branch at 210 Doug Baker Blvd, Suite 200, Birmingham, AL 35242.
Chicken Salad Chick also has plans to open two more area locations this year in Homewood and downtown Birmingham. The Homewood store will be in SoHo Square at 1830 29th Avenue South, Homewood, AL 35209, with the downtown restaurant at 2112 Seventh Ave. South, Birmingham, AL 35233.
“We are so excited that the day is finally here to begin serving the city of Birmingham,” says president Kevin Brown. “We appreciate the patience of our loyal fans there, and could not be more excited for them to enjoy the Chicken Salad Chick experience in their own community.”
Born In Alabama — The Chicken Salad Chick concept was established in Auburn, AL in 2008 in the kitchen of founder, Stacy Brown. Stacy quickly learned that selling a homemade recipe from her kitchen is against the law, and after being shut down by the health department, she decided to solicit the business expertise of her future husband and fellow founder, Kevin Brown. Together, they opened a small takeout restaurant which quickly grew to enormous demand and additional locations. The unique concept puts an edgy twist on a southern classic by offering customers a “custom-fit” chicken salad experience, with 15 original flavors to choose from, as well as gourmet soups, flavorful side salads and freshly-baked desserts. Chicken Salad Chick has sold 85 franchises to be developed across the states of Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and North Carolina & South Carolina, and has plans to expand nationally in the coming years.
“We are so thrilled to begin opening our Birmingham locations,” said Chicken Salad Chick Founder Stacy Brown. “Many of the guests that we see in our Auburn restaurants are from Birmingham, so we are very much looking forward to serving them, as well as many new guests, at several area locations!”
