"Richard, David and I are incredibly proud to be a part of the Chicken Salad Chick family and have enjoyed growing with the brand over the past four years," said Becky Roland. "The unique concept and exceptional dining experience is truly unmatched, and we are thrilled to continue to be part of the company's growth in Jacksonville. We look forward to being able to share our delicious food and genuine hospitality with the Jacksonville community for many years to come."

Becky Roland discovered the Chicken Salad Chick concept when her daughter was in school at Auburn University. Roland, who owns the Wishbone Group Inc., along with her husband and son, opened the first franchised restaurant in 2012 in North Port, Fla. Wishbone Group Inc. now owns six Chicken Salad Chick restaurants across the southeast, including the first Chicken Salad Chick in Jacksonville, which opened in May 2015.

The Chicken Salad Chick concept, born in Auburn, Ala., 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 59 restaurants across the Southeast.

Chicken Salad Chick in Jacksonville is open daily from 11 a.m. – 8 p.m. For more information, visit http://www.chickensaladchick.com. Follow Chicken Salad Chick on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for the latest news and trends.
