Fast-casual chicken salad restaurant chain Chicken Salad Chick is set to open a new restaurant in Naperville in the US state of Illinois.
The outlet, situated at 2835 Aurora Avenue, Suite 113, will open its doors on 4 November 2025.
First‑time franchisee Karen White will own and run the Naperville outlet through her business, KPM Foods.
White, a long‑time resident of Naperville, previously owned and ran a Dairy Queen franchise for seven years.
The Naperville site will be run as a family venture, with White’s eldest daughter overseeing business and finance duties and her younger daughter managing social media and marketing.
White stated: "Opening my very first Chicken Salad Chick in Naperville is the perfect next chapter for me.
"I fell in love with the brand the first time I visited the Batavia location — from the food to the hospitality, everything just felt right. Naperville is such a family-oriented and community-minded city, and I'm thrilled to introduce our fresh, made-from-scratch menu and share Chicken Salad Chick's signature warmth and generosity with our local community."
Services at the site will include in‑restaurant dining, take‑out, catering and third‑party delivery.
Chicken Salad Chick offers more than a dozen chicken salad options along with side salads, soups, signature sandwiches and desserts.
Chicken Salad Chick president and CEO Scott Deviney stated: "Chicagoland continues to be an important market for Chicken Salad Chick, and we're proud to open our second location in this vibrant region.
"As our sixth restaurant in Illinois, this opening reflects our continued commitment to expand across the Midwest. With Karen White leading our Naperville team, we look forward to introducing our signature chicken salads, sandwiches and warm hospitality to the Naperville community and can't wait for guests to experience what makes our brand so special."
The site will be open from Monday to Saturday, 10:30am to 8:00pm.
In October 2025, Chicken Salad Chick also entered agreements with six new franchisees to expand further in the US Midwest.
