March 02, 2021 // Franchising.com // INDIANAPOLIS - Chicken Salad Chick today announced the introduction of its famed brand to central Indiana with the first of four company-owned area restaurants opening near the intersection of West 86th and Michigan Avenue at Pyramid Place Shopping Center. Three additional Indianapolis locations are slated to quickly follow suit in Fishers, Glendale and Greenwood communities.
The West 86th restaurant will feature a drive-thru for added convenience, in addition to full-service catering and Quick Chick to-go options.

The restaurant will also host friends & family events on Friday, March 12 and Saturday, March 13, benefiting Second Helpings, an organization that addresses hunger and poverty in Central Indiana.
