Chicken Salad Chick of Fairview Park is owned and operated by Doug and Angela Fitch. Combined, the pair bring almost 40 years of restaurant, sales and administrative experience to their business. The Avon residents were initially introduced to Chicken Salad Chick while visiting Angela's father in The Villages, FL. They decided to bring the first Chicken Salad Chick restaurant to the Cleveland area.

“Chicken Salad Chick was the perfect investment for Angela and I. We couldn’t be more excited to bring such a unique concept to greater Cleveland,” said Doug Fitch, co-owner of Chicken Salad Chick of Fairview Park. “The brand has such an established culture rooted in hospitality, customer satisfaction, and creating a positive guest experience, and that’s exactly why we wanted to join the Chicken Salad Chick family. Cleveland loves great food and appreciates fresh, unique dining options, and there’s nothing quite like Chicken Salad Chick in the area. We believe guests will love both the food and the atmosphere.”

Chicken Salad Chick is known for its dozen-plus variety of made-from-scratch chicken salad flavors, fresh sides, gourmet soups, signature sandwiches, and desserts. The new Fairview Park restaurant offers in-restaurant dining, take-out, third-party delivery, and catering options. 

“We’re pleased to be expanding Chicken Salad Chick’s Ohio footprint and entering the greater Cleveland market for the first time,” said Scott Deviney, CEO and president of Chicken Salad Chick. “Cleveland is a great city for business with affordable operating costs, strong local food culture, and a supportive community. That’s why we’re excited to partner with the Fitches to introduce us there. With such rich backgrounds in the franchising and sales industries, they’re just the people for the job. We look forward to serving even more Ohioans very soon.”

Giving back to the community is an important focus for the Fairview Park 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 pre-opening Friends & Family events in Fairview Park, the restaurant will be raising money for Prayers From Maria, a non-profit children’s cancer foundation dedicated to funding research and raising awareness for childhood brain tumors.

Chicken Salad Chick of Fairview Park will be open Monday – Saturday from 10am – 8pm.
