US-based fast casual chain Chicken Salad Chick is set to expand its presence into Ohio with a new restaurant in Westerville.

Located at 687 Worthington Road in the Westar Plaza, the company will open the Westerville-Polaris location on 12 June.

Established in 2008 the restaurant chain has selected Jen Crichfield of Buckeye Chick as the franchise owner who will operate the Westerville-Polaris restaurant. For the first four days of the new restaurant opening guests will receive free gifts, including the first 124 guests receiving a free large Quick Chick of chicken salad per month.

Crichfield, along with her father Larry Romanoff, is planning to open an additional location in Dublin next year.

Crichfield said: “Since announcing our debut in the Columbus-area earlier this year, the excitement and anticipation has grown and we’re thrilled to finally be opening our doors.

“Nothing delights the residents in this community more than the Buckeyes and a good meal, so we’re confident that Chicken Salad Chick’s craveable flavours will become a fast favourite.
