US fast casual dining chain Chicken Salad Chick is preparing to open a new restaurant in Plant City, Florida, on 16 September 2025.

The new venue will be located at 2304 James L Redman Parkway within the Walden Woods Shopping Center.

The new outlet will offer indoor and outdoor seating, take-out services, third-party delivery and catering.

The Plant City location will be operated by Brad and Tammy Cochran, who manage five other Chicken Salad Chick restaurants in the Tampa Bay region, in Brandon, East Fowler, Lutz, South Tampa and Wesley Chapel.

Brad Cochran stated: “Our Plant City opening marks an exciting new chapter for Tammy and me.

“We're thrilled to share the Chicken Salad Chick experience with this wonderful community. Our mission is to provide not only flavourful, made-from-scratch chicken salads but also a warm, welcoming environment where guests feel right at home.

“Whether dining in or catering for a special gathering, we look forward to serving even more families throughout the Tampa Bay area soon.”

The menu will feature a range of chicken salad variations, alongside side salads, soups, sandwiches and desserts.

The first 100 customers in line on opening day will receive complimentary chicken salad for a year.

Chicken Salad Chick president and CEO Scott Deviney stated: “We're excited to continue expanding Chicken Salad Chick's presence in Florida alongside the Cochrans and their dedicated team.

 “Plant City is a fun community filled with family-friendly activities and a diverse dining scene, which is why we're confident Chicken Salad Chick will fit right in.

“With the Cochrans' years of experience and deep understanding of what guests in the greater Tampa area value in their dining choices, we're certain this new location will quickly become a hometown favourite.”

In August 2025, Chicken Salad Chick opened a new restaurant in New Bern, North Carolina.
