Chicken Salad Chick of Herndon marks the 11^th Chicken Salad Chick location in the state of Virginia. The restaurant is owned and operated by Fairfax County natives: Devon Chamberlin, Barry Chamberlin and Patrick Cavanaugh. The Herndon restaurant is the third opening for their franchise group, CSC NOVA Group, LLC, which joins their existing locations in Falls Church (7505 Leesburg Pike) and Fairfax (13057 Lee Jackson Mem Hwy), which both opened in late 2024. The group also plans to expand further with future restaurants in Arlington, Fairfax, and Loudoun Counties.

"We're beyond excited to open our third Chicken Salad Chick restaurant this fall," said Devon Chamberlin, franchise owner of Chicken Salad Chick of Herndon. "It's been such a fun and rewarding journey expanding with the brand so far, and I'm thrilled for what's ahead. I can't thank the local community enough for their continued support and love through it all. We look forward to welcoming both new and returning guests to the Herndon restaurant soon."

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

"We've loved having Devon, Barry and Patrick lead our expansion efforts in northern Virginia," said Scott Deviney, CEO and president of Chicken Salad Chick. "Fairfax County, especially Herndon, offers tremendous business potential with its blend of small-town charm and proximity to Washington, D.C. We're thrilled for their third grand opening and excited to bring the Chick experience to an area with such a strong sense of community and diverse dining options."

Giving back to the community is an important focus for the Herndon 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 Herndon, the restaurant will be raising money for Ronald McDonald House of Greater Washington, a non-profit that provides essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families, and promote healing when children need healthcare.

Chicken Salad Chick of Herndon will be open Monday – Saturday from 10:30am – 8pm. For more information, visit www.chickensaladchick.com. Follow Chicken Salad Chick on Facebook and Instagram for the latest news and trends.
