Their unwavering belief in the brand’s mission to spread joy, enrich lives, and serve others drives their expansion efforts and is a reflection of their commitment to the community.

“We’re thrilled to bring Chicken Salad Chick to my hometown of Chesapeake this winter,” said Melissa Holt, franchise owner of Chicken Salad Chick of Chesapeake. “It’s an honor to share the mission of Chicken Salad Chick here in Virginia while offering the best chicken salad on the market. Chris and I are dedicated to creating memorable dining experiences for our new friends and neighbors, and we look forward to building lasting community connections through the joy of great food.”

The new Chesapeake restaurant features in-restaurant and outdoor patio dining, take-out, third-party delivery, and catering options.

“It’s great to see Chris and Melissa lead the newest development for Chicken Salad Chick in Virginia,” said Scott Deviney, President and CEO of Chicken Salad Chick. “Their genuine passion for both the Chesapeake community and our brand is truly remarkable. They embody what it means to be great franchise owners – dedicated to quality and making a difference in the lives of those they serve. We’re excited to support their business journey and can’t wait to see what the future holds for their new location.”

As part of the pre-opening Friends & Family events, the Chesapeake restaurant is supporting The Chas Foundation, a nonprofit aimed at providing resources and support for those suffering from mental illness and their families.
