Restaurant chain Chicken Salad Chick is set to expand its US network by opening a new location in Charleston, South Carolina, on 5 December 2023.

The new venue will be located at 8803 Dorchester Road in North Charleston's Cedar Grove shopping centre.

The new restaurant will be owned by Julie Beville and Michelle Singleton and will feature a drive-thru and a spacious patio for outdoor seating.

Julie Beville and Michelle Singleton also own Chicken Salad Chick restaurants in Summerville, Mount Pleasant and Goose Creek.

Once opened, the new restaurant will be the duo's fourth location in the region.

As part of the opening celebrations, the new restaurant will offer the first 100 guests free chicken salad for a year. 

Beville said: “North Charleston - and the greater Charleston market in general - is one of the fastest growing areas in the entire country and Michelle and I feel so fortunate for the opportunity to open another restaurant here.

“We love bringing the best chicken salad to our raving fans while also making a positive impact in the local communities we serve.”

Earlier this month, Chicken Salad Chick signed a three-unit deal with mother-daughter duo Liz Sevcik and Alexis Thompson to open new stores in Texas over the next three years.

The new restaurants are scheduled to open across three cities: Midland, Odessa and San Angelo.
