ATLANTA /PRNewswire/ — Chicken Salad Chick, the nation’s only fast casual chicken salad restaurant concept, announced today the opening of its newest restaurant in Columbia, Missouri. This marks the brand’s third restaurant in the state with plans to open an additional location in Springfield later this year. Located at 300 Brickton Road and featuring a drive-thru and patio seating, Chicken Salad Chick Columbia is owned and operated by Missouri native and local resident Jennifer Winters, alongside her husband Michael Winters of The Family Brands Inc. The community is invited to celebrate the grand opening on April 26, which includes a free chicken salad for a year giveaway to the first 100 guests.

During grand opening week, guests will experience the Southern hospitality that Chicken Salad Chick is known for, with giveaways and specials that include:

• Tuesday, April 26 – Free Chicken Salad for a Year – The first 100 guests will receive one large Quick Chick of chicken salad per month for an entire year, with one of those lucky guests randomly selected to win one large Quick Chick of chicken salad per week.* Guests can arrive starting at 7am for grand opening day only.

Ambitious multi-unit operators, this is the Winters’ third Chicken Salad Chick location in Missouri, joining their St. Louis-area restaurants in Chesterfield and Creve Coeur. The Winters were first introduced to the brand back in 2017 after a Chick restaurant opened near their children’s preschool in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Quickly becoming regulars, the family fell in love with CSC’s diverse flavors, brand values and simple concept. Today, the duo continues to build their franchise empire and now brings the great flavor of Chicken Salad Chick to their local Columbia community.

“From the very first bite, I knew Chicken Salad Chick would be something special to me and my family. Whether it was a quick after-school snack or catering platters for our events, we always found ourselves back at the Chick,” said Jennifer Winters. “The brand’s core values of spreading joy, enriching lives and serving others are very much a part of who we are and what we strive to do. We look forward to not only introducing our friends and neighbors in Columbia to CSC’s made-from-scratch menu but continuing to grow with this incredible brand as we plan for additional locations in the St. Louis and Jefferson City regions.”
