ATLANTA, Nov. 7, 2024 // PRNewswire // -- Chicken Salad Chick announced today the opening of its newest restaurant in Houston. The local community is invited to celebrate this grand opening on Tuesday, November 19 where the first 100 guests in line will win free chicken salad for a year*.
During grand opening week, guests can expect to experience the Southern hospitality that Chicken Salad Chick is known for, as well as a community focused mindset with various specials and giveaways. These include:
The new Houston-Memorial area location in Hedwig Village is the fourth location owned and operated by Ron and Kathleen Ram. Their other Chicken Salad Chick restaurants include West University Place and locations in Katy and Cinco Ranch. The Rams began their franchising journey with Pizza Patron, where they own 10 locations across Texas. In 2019, they opened their first Chicken Salad Chick in Katy, followed by their second location in Cinco Ranch in 2020. Deeply aligned with the brand's mission to serve others, they have embraced their role in the communities they operate in. Their dedication and leadership were recognized when they were named Owners of the Year in 2023, a reflection of the high standards they've set throughout their franchises.
"We're excited to expand Chicken Salad Chick's presence here in Houston," said Ron Ram, co-franchise owner of Chicken Salad Chick of Houston. "Hedwig Village is the perfect spot for a fresh, fun and unique dining experience. From day one, Chicken Salad Chick's mission to 'Spread Joy, Enrich Lives, and Serve Others' has truly resonated with us, and we're excited to bring that spirit to the Memorial area. Our location is surrounded by other retailers, making it convenient for busy professionals and families looking for delicious, freshly made food. We can't wait to connect with our neighbors and share Chicken Salad Chick's amazing menu with them soon."
Chicken Salad Chick is known for its dozen-plus variety of made-from-scratch chicken salad flavors, fresh side salads, gourmet soups, signature sandwiches, and desserts. The new Houston Memorial restaurant offers dine in, take-out, third-party delivery, and catering options.
"We're excited to grow Chicken Salad Chick's footprint in the greater Houston area," said Scott Deviney, president and CEO of Chicken Salad Chick. "The Rams have been outstanding franchise owners, and we're proud to count them among the valued members of our Chicken Salad Chick family. With their extensive experience in restaurant franchising and strong connection to their community, we're confident they'll continue to succeed as they grow their business and uphold our mission to spread joy, enrich lives, and serve others in the community."
Giving back to the community is an important focus for the Houston team and the Chicken Salad Chick brand, which established the CSC Foundation to support CURE Childhood Cancer and local food banks with fundraisers throughout the year. As part of the pre-opening Friends & Family event, the restaurant will be raising money for Blessings in a Backpack, a non-profit organization that mobilizes communities, individuals, and resources to provide food on the weekends for school-aged children across America who might otherwise go hungry.
