US-based fast-casual restaurant chain Chicken Salad Chick is set to open a new outlet on 1 October 2024 in Oklahoma City.

The new restaurant will be located at 14215 N. Pennsylvania Avenue and will be the brand's fifth location in the state, following recent openings in Broken Arrow, Moore and Tulsa.

The Oklahoma City branch is the latest venture by franchisee Troy Morrison, who inaugurated the Moore location in August 2024.

Morrison holds the rights to four further locations in Oklahoma, three in Wichita, Kansas, and eleven in Austin, Texas, planned for opening in 2025.

Chicken Salad Chick’s Oklahoma City franchise owner Troy Morrison said: “I'm excited to further expand Chicken Salad Chick in Oklahoma with the opening of my second location in Oklahoma City, just a month after launching my first restaurant in Moore.

“Chicken Salad Chick offers a unique dining experience that stands out amongst other restaurant franchises. Our menu caters to a broad audience, from families to those seeking a quick and nutritious meal.

“I chose to invest in this brand because it offers something fresh and special for my community. I'm honoured to continue growing with Chicken Salad Chick and can't wait to welcome both new and returning guests at the grand opening!"

Chicken Salad Chick is known for its variety of made-from-scratch chicken salad flavours, complemented by fresh side salads, gourmet soups, signature sandwiches and desserts.

The new restaurant will offer in-restaurant and patio dining and a drive-through, along with take-out, third-party delivery and catering services.

As part of the opening celebrations, the first 100 guests in line will win free chicken salad for a year.

Chicken Salad Chick CEO and president Scott Deviney said: “We're excited to grow Chicken Salad Chick's footprint in the Oklahoma City area.

“Troy Morrison has proven to be an exceptional franchise owner, and we're proud to have him as a valued member of the Chicken Salad Chick family. He's been instrumental in our strategic return to this market, which has been a significant focus for us in 2024.

“With his extensive experience in restaurant franchising, we're confident he will continue to thrive as he expands his business portfolio with additional locations. We eagerly anticipate Troy's growth and continued success.”

In September 2024, Chicken Salad Chick opened a new store in Johnstown in Colorado, US.
