US-based southern-inspired, fast-casual restaurant chain Chicken Salad Chick is set to open a new restaurant in Arlington, Tennessee, on 1 November.

The newest restaurant is located at 5291 Airline Road in The Falls shopping centre.

It will be the brand's fifth opening in the Memphis metro area and its 22nd location in the state of Tennessee.

The newest location features a drive-through and an outdoor patio and will serve customers from Monday to Saturday between 10am and 8pm.

Chicken Salad Chick Arlington will also host a grand opening event on 1 November.

As part of the opening day event, the first 100 customers will get free chicken salad for a year. The next 99 guests in the queue will get one large Quick Chick of chicken salad every month throughout the year.

The grand opening week will allow Arlington residents to take part in Chicken Salad Chick’s specials and giveaways on 2, 3 and 4 November. 

The first 50 customers buying a Chick Trio at 10am or 6pm on 2-4 November will be eligible for a free Chicken Salad Chick tote bag, a free 20oz tumbler and a cutting board, respectively.

Chicken Salad Chick CEO Scott Deviney said: “Chicken salad is a staple in the South and Memphis has really embraced Chicken Salad Chick's devotion to making this classic fresh from scratch every day in our restaurants and serving it with heart.

“From Wolfchase and Olive Branch to Germantown and Poplar Perkins, our teams have enjoyed becoming part of these Memphis neighbourhoods and providing exceptional dining experiences that foster a sense of community and happiness.” 

Last month, Chicken Salad Chick announced its plans to its third location in Ohio’s Greater Columbus area in the US.
