Tammy and Brad Cochran were first introduced to Chicken Salad Chick when founder Stacy Brown was still selling the southern dish out of her home. Stacy had brought samples of her classic chicken salad to a baby shower for Tammy's sister-in-law Julie in 2007. Six years later, Julie opened her own Chicken Salad Chick location in Georgia, where the Cochrans frequently visited. Blown away by the warm atmosphere and undeniable uniqueness of the concept, Tammy and Brad were determined to open a location of their own and debuted their first Chicken Salad Chick in Tampa in 2015. Following the opening of their new restaurant in Lutz, the Cochrans have plans to open an additional location in Brandon within the next year.

"Chicken Salad Chick has completely changed our lives for the better," said Tammy Cochran. "We never dreamed we would end up in the restaurant industry, but as we watched this concept flourish, we knew we wanted to be a part of it. We are thrilled to be opening an additional location in the Tampa Bay area and are confident the residents in Lutz will fall in love with this Southern specialty."

The Chicken Salad Chick concept, born in Auburn, was established in 2008 in the kitchen of founder, Stacy Brown. When Stacy discovered that the local county health department would not allow her to continue making and selling her delicious recipes out of her home kitchen, she overcame that obstacle by launching her first restaurant with the business expertise of her future husband and fellow founder, Kevin Brown. Together, they opened a small takeout restaurant, which quickly grew; the company now has 90 restaurants across the Southeast.
