The grand opening for the new restaurant, located at 4365 Roswell Road, NE in the Roswell Wieuca Shopping Center, will take place on Tuesday, June 27 with a ribbon cutting at 10 a.m. and official door-opening at 10:30 a.m. With the addition of the new Buckhead store, the community can anticipate whetting their palates with over a dozen specialty chicken salad flavors, fresh soups, salads, sides, and full-service catering. Every week until the grand opening, fans can enter to win a year of free chicken salad by liking the restaurant’s Facebook page.  During grand opening week, the Chicken Salad Chick tradition of southern hospitality continues through daily giveaways and specials at the new Chicken Salad Chick restaurant: ·         Tuesday, June 27 – Free Chicken Salad for a Year - The first 100 guests (age 16 or older who have downloaded the Craving Credits app) will win one large Quick Chick of chicken salad every month for an entire year! ·         Wednesday, June 28 – Free Scoop Day - The first 100 guests to order a Chick Special receive a free scoop of their choice on their next visit! ·         Thursday, June 29 – Free Stainless Steel Bottle - The first 100 guests to spend over $25 will receive a complimentary, limited edition Chicken Salad Chick stainless sports bottle. ·         Friday, June 30 – Free Chick PopSocket - The first 100 guests to spend over $15 will receive a limited edition Chicken Salad Chick PopSocket for their phone! ·         Saturday, July 1 – Free Chick Cooler - With the purchase of two Quick Chicks To-Go, the first 100 guests will receive a free Chick Cooler, ready to be stocked with ice for a delicious picnic. The Chicken Salad Chick concept was established in 2008 in the kitchen of founder, Stacy Brown. When Stacy discovered that the local county health department would not allow her to continue making and selling her delicious recipes out of her home kitchen, she overcame that obstacle by launching her first restaurant with the business expertise of her future husband and fellow founder, Kevin Brown. Together, they opened a small takeout restaurant, which quickly grew.  Under the baton of Scott Deviney, CEO of Chicken Salad Chick and with majority investment partner, Eagle Merchant Partners, the company now has 70 restaurants in nine states across the Southeast. This new location marks the 16th Chicken Salad Chick location in Georgia, and the seventh location for Origin Development Group, an Atlanta-based restaurant development fund founded by Darren DeVore and Lauren Fernandez.
