Chicken Salad Chick of Missouri City is the fifth restaurant owned and operated by Ron and Kathleen Ram. Their portfolio includes two restaurants in Houston, as well as locations in Katy and Cinco Ranch. Their franchising journey began 15 years ago with Pizza Patron, where they now own 10 locations across Texas. In 2019, they joined Chicken Salad Chick and opened their first restaurant in Katy, followed by Cinco Ranch in 2020. Their Houston expansion kicked off in 2022 with the West University Place location, followed by Houston Memorial in Hedwig Village Shopping Center which opened in November 2024. Committed to the brand's mission of serving others, the Rams have become deeply involved in their local communities. Their dedication and leadership earned them recognition as Owners of the Year in 2023, a reflection of the high standards they uphold across their franchises.

"Kathleen and I are thrilled to continue expanding Chicken Salad Chick's presence in the greater Houston area," said Ron Ram, franchise owner of Chicken Salad Chick of Missouri City. "With each new location, our passion for the brand deepens. From the very start, Chicken Salad Chick's mission to 'Spread Joy, Enrich Lives, and Serve Others' has spoken to us, and we can't wait to bring that same warmth and hospitality to Missouri City. We're grateful for this opportunity and look forward to welcoming the community into our restaurant soon."

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 Missouri City restaurant offers in-restaurant and outdoor patio dining, drive-thru, curbside, take-out, third-party delivery, and catering options.

"Texas continues to be a priority growth market for Chicken Salad Chick, and we're excited to continue expanding our footprint statewide," said Scott Deviney, president and CEO of Chicken Salad Chick. "Since day one of their franchising journey, the Rams have been exceptional owners. We're incredibly grateful to have them bringing our brand to more communities across greater Houston. Their deep roots in the restaurant industry and dedication to serving others have made them invaluable partners in carrying forward our mission to spread joy and enrich lives."

Giving back to the community is an important focus for the Missouri City 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 Missouri City, the restaurant will be raising money for Lunches of Love at The Harvest, a non-profit organization committed to helping end childhood hunger.

Chicken Salad Chick of Missouri City will be open Monday – Saturday from 10:30am – 8pm. For more information, visit www.chickensaladchick.com. Follow Chicken Salad Chick on Facebook and Instagram for the latest news and trends.
