This will be the company’s fifth location in the state and the second location for local franchise owner Yonas Hagos.
In 2020, Yonas Hagos of DLH Chicken Salad became a part of the Chicken Salad Chick family with the opening of the East Peoria location.
Chicken Salad Chick Bloomington owner Yonas Hagos said: “I am thrilled to be growing with Chicken Salad Chick in the state where my love for foodservice began as a hardworking teenager in Wheaton.
“The focus on spreading joy, enriching lives and serving others can be felt the moment you walk through our doors. It’s what drew me to the Chick in the first place.
