Chicken Salad Chick of Kyle is owned and operated by OberRoc LLC. Together, business partners James Oberg, Jeff Rochelle, George Shaw, and Rosemarie Acerra operate five Chicken Salad Chick restaurants across greater San Antonio, including New Braunfels, Stone Oak, Roadrunner, Westover Hills and most recently, opened Boerne in early-June 2026. The franchise group also has plans to open additional restaurants in the San Antonio area in the coming years.

"We're thrilled to open our second Chicken Salad Chick restaurant this year following our launch in Boerne just a few weeks back," said Jeff Rochelle, co-owner of Chicken Salad Chick of Kyle. "While many of our group's restaurants are based in greater San Antonio, Kyle marks our first outside of Austin. Kyle is such a fun and unique city, and we believe residents here will embrace what we have to offer. We're excited to uphold Chicken Salad Chick's mission to 'Spread Joy, Enrich Lives, and Serve Others' in Kyle very soon."

Chicken Salad Chick is known for its dozen-plus variety of made-from-scratch chicken salad flavors, fresh sides, gourmet soups, signature sandwiches, and desserts. The new Kyle restaurant offers in-restaurant dining, drive-thru, take-out, third-party delivery, and catering options.

"Partnering with strong franchise partners like OberRoc has played a major role in Chicken Salad Chick's Texas expansion," said Scott Deviney, CEO and president of Chicken Salad Chick. "The Kyle opening follows the group's recent and successful debut in Boerne, and they have ambitious development plans ahead. Texas remains a key growth state for us, so we're excited to see their continued growth and impact throughout the state."

Giving back to the community is an important focus for the Kyle team and the Chicken Salad Chick brand, which established the CSC Foundation to support CURE Childhood Cancer and local food banks with fundraisers throughout the year. As part of pre-opening Friends & Family events in Kyle, the restaurant will be raising money for CHRISTUS Children's Hospital, the first and only academic, freestanding children's hospital in San Antonio dedicated to the care of children and expectant mothers.

Chicken Salad Chick of Kyle will be open Monday – Saturday from 10am – 8pm. For more information on giveaways and specials, visit the Kyle restaurant's Facebook. Visit www.chickensaladchick.com, and follow Chicken Salad Chick on Facebook and Instagram for the latest news and trends.
