Carnes said: "Southern Pines represents an exciting milestone as our third opening this year, and we couldn't be more thankful for the warm welcome we've received from every community we've had the privilege to serve.”

On 19 December, the first fifty purchasers of a Chick Trio will get a complimentary Chick tote gag.
