September 12, 2018 // Franchising.com // Auburn, AL - Chicken Salad Chick, the nation’s only southern inspired, fast casual chicken salad restaurant concept, announced today the opening of its newest franchised location in Pensacola, Florida. Located at 5050 Bayou Boulevard, the Pensacola restaurant will open on September 19th and marks the brand’s third location along the Florida Gulf Coast and 17th location in the state. Owned by veteran franchisees Tommy and Stephanie Lauderdale, the new restaurant will include a variety of dining options including a drive-thru, takeout and catering.
During grand opening week, guests will experience the southern hospitality that Chicken Salad Chick is known for, with giveaways and specials that include:
Husband and wife team Tommy and Stephanie Lauderdale quickly became Chicken Salad Chick enthusiasts after tasting the sweet and savory flavors of the brand’s chicken salad at a location owned by Stephanie’s sister. Realizing their love for the brand extended beyond the creative menu items, Tommy and Stephanie decided to open a location of their own in 2014. The Pensacola restaurant marks the Lauderdale’s third Chicken Salad Chick with two existing locations open in Panama City Beach and Destin.
“We’ve been eager to open a Chicken Salad Chick in Pensacola and are thrilled that the grand opening is finally here,” said Stephanie. “Thanks to our loyal guests, word of Chicken Salad Chick’s delicious menu items has spread throughout the area and the excitement is palpable. We look forward to serving the Pensacola community and are excited to welcome more residents into our Chick family.”
The Chicken Salad Chick concept, born in Auburn, was established in 2008 in the kitchen of founder, Stacy Brown. When Stacy discovered that the local county health department would not allow her to continue making and selling her delicious recipes out of her home kitchen, she overcame that obstacle by launching her first restaurant with the business expertise of her future husband and fellow founder, Kevin Brown. Together, they opened a small takeout restaurant, which quickly grew; the company now has 94 restaurants across the Southeast.
