By GlobalDataYoung said: “Austin is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, and we’re very excited to introduce the brand to such a booming market.
“As a young business owner, Chicken Salad Chick has been so welcoming and supportive – with great core values in both operations and customer services on top of its quality menu offerings.
“This eight-unit deal was a natural next step in our career with the brand because we get to be on the ground floor of a fast-growing, fan-favourite concept.”
For the San Antonio development, Chicken Salad Chick reached an agreement with OberRoc, a franchise company created by James Oberg, Jeff Rochelle and George Shaw.
The first of the eight planned locations in San Antonio is expected to open by the end of the year, while the second is planned to open in the second quarter of 2023.
The company has also signed deals with established Chicken Salad Chick franchise groups Hazel 5 Ventures and Metroplex CSC for expansion in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
These latest franchise agreements are part of the restaurant chain’s target to open 500 restaurants by 2025.
Chicken Salad Chick CEO Scott Deviney said: “As our brand awareness and guest loyalty continue to increase, we are seeing a demand in franchise opportunities throughout the state.
“It is exciting to see Chicken Salad Chick’s southern expansion in action. We’re more than humbled to support our franchisees as they continue to thrive in markets across Texas, and look forward to seeing how communities across the state respond to the product.”
