Chicken Salad Chick's values and mission to 'spread joy, enrich lives, and serve others' align perfectly with our business philosophy, so we knew it was the right concept to continue growing with. We can't wait to welcome our new guests and share what makes Chicken Salad Chick so special with them."

"We're proud to continue expanding Chicken Salad Chick's footprint in Florida with Bryan Royal," said Scott Deviney, president and CEO of Chicken Salad Chick. "Port St. Lucie is a bustling community known for its excellent schools and diverse retail and dining scene, which made it the ideal community to continue growing our brand in. We believe Bryan's experience and genuine passion for Chicken Salad Chick will quickly establish the Port St. Lucie restaurant as a local favorite. We're eager to see him bring our offerings to even more Floridians, both here and in Westlake, later this year."
