Multi-Brand Partners Add Another Chicken Salad Chick Location

Multi-unit, multi-brand operators Hudson Sandefur and Bruce Ratcliffe will open their newest Chicken Salad Chick restaurant in Gulfport, Mississippi this week.

The duo’s S&R Poultry, LLC now operates two Chicken Salad Chick locations and five Zaxby’s locations across the Southeast.

“When Hudson and I opened our D’Iberville location, we quickly learned that owning a Chicken Salad Chick restaurant was about more than just operating a successful eatery. It was about cultivating an environment that makes guests feel comfortable and welcome, while sharing a fresh, flavorful meal with family and friends,” said Ratcliffe. “We’ve been eager to share this dining experience with more residents across the Gulf Coast and look forward to opening in Gulfport, a community that has eagerly awaited our arrival and supported our development from the start.”

The two partners have more than 15 years of experience in the fast-casual space and are well-versed in business management and delivering exceptional customer experiences. They’ve been franchisees with the Chicken Salad Chick brand since 2018, when they opened their first location in D’Iberville, Mississippi.

Chicken Salad Chick now has more than 160 restaurants in 17 states.
