The Bristol restaurant is owned and operated by first-time Chicken Salad Chick franchise owners James and Jessica Denham of TriCities Chick, LLC. The Denhams first experienced the brand's unique chicken salad flavors at Auburn University, where they were studying for their master's in business administration. After learning more about Chicken Salad Chick's culture and growth opportunities, the Denhams decided to open a location of their own, alongside partners Andy Tolley and Chip and Beth Backus. The group brings more than 20 years of food service experience to the brand, as well as background in sales and marketing. Following the opening of the Bristol restaurant, the Denhams have plans to develop two additional Chicken Salad Chick locations in the Tri-Cities area over the next few years.

"Jessica and I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit, but we wanted to make sure that when we opened our own business, it was something truly special. Chicken Salad Chick's unique culture and purpose of serving others is the exact representation of something special," said James Denham. "We are thrilled to be opening in Bristol and are grateful for all the support we've received from Chicken Salad Chick and other franchise owners as we start our journey with the brand. The deep love and passion each owner has for Chicken Salad Chick is evident and we can't wait to officially be a part of the family."
