Chicken Salad Chick of Sevierville is owned and operated by multi-unit franchise owners, James and Jessica Denham, Andy Tolley and Chip and Beth Backus. The group opened their first Chicken Salad Chick back in 2020 in Bristol and have since opened another location in Johnson City. Sevierville will mark their third restaurant to open.

"Jessica and I first discovered Chicken Salad Chick while we were students at Auburn University and we immediately felt drawn to the brand," said James Denham, co-owner of Chicken Salad Chick of Sevierville. "Expanding our portfolio with Chicken Salad Chick and bringing the concept to Sevierville feels like a natural next step in our franchising journey. We're excited to continue growing and serving our friends, family, and neighbors the Southern classic they love."

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 Sevierville restaurant offers in-restaurant dining, take-out, third-party delivery, and catering options.

"Bringing Chicken Salad Chick to Sevierville is an exciting step in our continued growth across Tennessee," said Scott Deviney, CEO and president of Chicken Salad Chick. "This community embodies the warmth, hospitality, and family‑centered values that define our brand, and we're thrilled to have James and Jessica introduce our made‑from‑scratch favorites to the area."

Giving back to the community is an important focus for the Sevierville 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 the pre-opening Friends & Family event in Sevierville, the restaurant will be raising money for Isaiah 117 House, a nonprofit that provides a safe, comfortable home for children waiting to enter the foster care system.

Chicken Salad Chick of Sevierville will be open Monday – Saturday from 10:30am – 8pm. For more information on giveaways and specials, visit the Sevierville restaurant's Facebook.
