Chicken Salad Chick, the nation’s only fast casual chicken salad restaurant chain, has opened its first restaurant in New York state in Clifton Park, a suburb north of Albany.
The new restaurant is located in The Shops at Village Plaza at 5 Southside Drive in Clifton Park. Chicken Salad Chick is known for its dozen-plus variety of made-from-scratch chicken salad flavors, fresh sides, gourmet soups, signature sandwiches, and desserts. The new Clifton Park restaurant offers in-restaurant dining, take-out, third-party delivery, and catering options.
Chicken Salad Chick of Clifton Park is the first restaurant to open under a 25-unit franchise agreement bringing locations to the Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and the Upper Hudson Valley areas across New York. The agreement represents Chicken Salad Chick’s largest franchise development deal to date and is being spearheaded by an experienced, multi-unit fast casual restaurant group already operating several national restaurant brands in the Upstate New York market.
“Entering New York is a major milestone for Chicken Salad Chick. It represents tremendous growth potential for our brand, and we’re already seeing strong demand,” said Scott Deviney, CEO and President of Chicken Salad Chick. “This opening expands our footprint to 27 states and marks our fifth new state entry this year, following openings in Utah, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. We’ve partnered with a franchise group that’s exceptionally seasoned in national restaurant operations, and their long-term commitment to this market makes them ideal partners as we bring Chicken Salad Chick to guests across the state. We’re excited to work alongside them and welcome our New York guests soon.”
Chicken Salad Chick is based in Atlanta and has grown to more than 345 restaurants across 27 states. The chain’s average unit sales are $1,496,540 according to franchise documents.
