Tarrant County - The vibrant cityscape of Southlake is ready to host a fresh addition to its diverse culinary realm. Chicken Salad Chick, a renowned fast-casual dining chain devoted solely to chicken salad, is all set to make a grand debut. The chain, which has grown significantly across the country, was first brought to Texas by gastronomic visionaries, John and Meggie Schissler, in 2016.

The Schisslers have significantly enriched their portfolio with the Southlake outlet, elevating their total Chicken Salad Chick footprint to seven locations dispersed within the metropolitan area. Their latest venture finds its home at 2101 E Southlake Blvd, conveniently located next to Kimball Avenue, a notable city thoroughfare.

The grand opening is scheduled for Tuesday, June 20, and the Schisslers are ready to celebrate the event in style. Harnessing the community spirit, they extend an open invitation to locals to join in the grand opening festivities. The day promises a special treat for early birds: the first 100 customers of the day will receive a year's supply of chicken salad, on the house.

A Texas native, Meggie Schissler began her Chicken Salad Chick journey in the corporate world as a marketing assistant. As the brand marked notable growth in the Southeast, she and John spotted an attractive business prospect and decided to bring Chicken Salad Chick back to their home state. Looking back, the Schisslers are proud to see around 30 flourishing Chicken Salad Chick locations across Texas, demonstrating their commitment and the brand's sustained appeal.

"When we decided to take the leap into bringing Chicken Salad Chick home to Texas, John and I had fallen in love with the idea of owning a small business and making a difference in the community," said Meggie Schissler, co-owner of Chicken Salad Chick Southlake, according to the official press release.

"Providing jobs to our employees and Chick hospitality to our guests has been even more rewarding than we imagined. We can't wait to open our doors to Southlake, serving our made-from-scratch, Southern-style favorites to more loyal fans and newcomers to the brand."

The Schisslers have taken pride in contributing to meaningful causes through their business ventures over the years. With the launch of their Southlake outlet, they will support Metroport Meals on Wheels during their pre-opening Friends & Family events.

Chicken Salad Chick in Southlake will operate from Monday – Saturday, 10:30 a.m. – 8 p.m. For further details, visit the official website. Stay updated on the latest news and trends by following Chicken Salad Chick on Facebook and Instagram.
