Chicken Salad Chick of Parrish marks the second location owned and operated by franchise owner, Karen Jordan. Through her franchise group, Manasota Chick, LLC., Karen also owns and operates the Bradenton restaurant at 5434 Lockwood Ridge Rd, which opened in 2022. She remains committed to growing the brand and sharing the warm Southern hospitality that Chicken Salad Chick brings to Manatee County.

"I'm incredibly excited to open our second Chicken Salad Chick restaurant here in Manatee County," said Karen Jordan, franchise owner of Chicken Salad Chick of Parrish. "This journey with the brand has already been so rewarding, and expanding into Parrish felt like the natural next step. The community has that charming, small-town feel while being right in the middle of tremendous growth between Sarasota and Tampa, making it one of Florida's fastest growing areas. I'm so grateful for the support we've received so far and can't wait to welcome the Parrish community to our new location."

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 Parrish restaurant offers in-restaurant dining, outdoor patio, take-out, third-party delivery, and catering options.

"Expanding Chicken Salad Chick's footprint in Florida means a great deal to us," said Scott Deviney, president and CEO of Chicken Salad Chick. "Parrish is an area we've grown to love. It's a vibrant and fast-growing community, known for its small-town charm and strong sense of community – qualities that perfectly reflect the welcoming, family-oriented spirit of our brand. We're confident Karen's experience and passion will quickly make the Parrish restaurant a local favorite. We look forward to watching her introduce more communities across Florida to the Chicken Salad Chick experience."

Giving back to the community is an important focus for the Parrish 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 Parrish, the restaurant will be raising money for Feeding Empty Little Tummies (F.E.L.T.), a backpack program that feeds homeless and food insecure students on the weekends.

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