On September 15, 2026, Chicken Salad Chick is set to celebrate the opening of its 11th restaurant in Mississippi with a grand opening event that promises to bring free chicken salad to the first 100 guests in line. The new location, situated at 1480 West Government Street in Brandon, will offer a host of promotions and giveaways to mark the occasion.
Starting at 10:30 AM, the first guest in line will secure a year's worth of free chicken salad, with subsequent guests receiving a monthly supply. In addition, various other specials will be available throughout the grand opening week, including free Chick Tumblers, Meal Cards, Chick Coolers, and Chick Tote Bags. Each promotion is designed to engage the community and generate excitement around the new restaurant.
Shae and Blake Fuller, the multi-unit franchise owners, have spearheaded the expansion of Chicken Salad Chick in Mississippi. They opened their first location in Flowood in 2018 and have since added restaurants in Madison, Hattiesburg, and Ridgeland. The Fullers' commitment to serving fresh, made-from-scratch chicken salad and their focus on community engagement have been central to the brand's success.
Blake Fuller expressed his pride in the Brandon opening, stating, "Brandon has embraced Chicken Salad Chick in such a meaningful way, and we're grateful for the trust this community has placed on us. Our goal is always to create a place where guests feel at home."
Chicken Salad Chick is renowned for its diverse menu, offering over a dozen original chicken salad flavors, as well as fresh sides, gourmet soups, signature sandwiches, and desserts. The new Brandon restaurant will also provide in-restaurant dining, drive-thru, take-out, third-party delivery, and catering options, making it a versatile destination for various occasions.
Scott Deviney, CEO and president of Chicken Salad Chick, said, "We're excited to celebrate Blake and Shae's fifth Chicken Salad Chick opening here in Brandon. This community is an ideal place for us to continue growing the brand and introducing more guests to our fresh, made-from-scratch favorites."
The Brandon location is part of Chicken Salad Chick's broader commitment to community engagement. The brand's CSC Foundation supports CURE Childhood Cancer and local food banks through various fundraisers. As part of the pre-opening Friends & Family events, the Brandon restaurant will be raising funds for Children's Hospital of Mississippi, the state's only hospital exclusively dedicated to the care of babies, children, and young adults.
The first 100 guests to line up at 10:30 AM on September 15 will enjoy free chicken salad for a year, with subsequent guests receiving monthly portions. Other giveaways include free Chick Tumblers, Meal Cards, Chick Coolers, and Chick Tote Bags. Guests are advised to arrive early to secure their place in line and download the Chicken Salad Chick app to claim their rewards.
Chicken Salad Chick serves full-flavored, Southern-style chicken salad made from scratch and served from the heart. With more than 345 restaurants across 25 states, the brand continues its rapid expansion driven by a passionate network of franchise owners.
