Chicken Salad Chick Expands in Texas with New Location in Bryan
The culinary delight of chicken salad is set to reach even more fans in Texas as Chicken Salad Chick prepares to open its latest restaurant in Bryan, located at 2305 Boonville Road near the Kroger in the Colony Park Shopping Center. The grand opening event is scheduled for March 10, where the first 100 patrons will be rewarded with free chicken salad for a year, a promotion that showcases the restaurant's commitment to both delicious food and community engagement.
As the only fast casual chicken salad restaurant concept in the country, Chicken Salad Chick is known for its extensive range of made-from-scratch chicken salad flavors, along with a selection of gourmet sides, soups, sandwiches, and desserts. The new Bryan location will mark the 43rd restaurant for the brand and follows the successful launch of their College Station restaurant back in June 2019. Franchise owners Thad and Marie Hoffpauir, alongside Emile and Debbie Soulier, are excited to bring this beloved Southern dining experience to their community.
A Grand Opening Celebration
On the day of the opening, the establishment plans to celebrate Southern hospitality with a range of specials that not only bring excitement but also welcome the community to be a fundamental part of this journey. The highlights of the grand opening week include:
- - March 10: The first 100 guests will be offered free chicken salad for a year, providing incredible motivation for early attendees who want to experience the new location.
- - March 11: The first 50 customers purchasing an entrée with two sides will receive a complimentary Chick Red Insulated Grocery Chick Tote Bag at both lunch and dinner service.
- - March 12: Guests will be rewarded with a free Chick Tervis Tumbler on the same terms as the previous day.
- - March 13: Patrons will have the chance to get a Navy Chick Beanie for those who join in during the designated times.
- - March 14: The first 25 customers who buy two large Quick Chicks will receive a free Chick Cutting Board and Chick Dish Towel, rounding out a week of generous giveaways.
Family-Owned and Community-Focused
The Hoffpauirs and Souliers bring valuable restaurant management expertise into this new venture. With over two decades of experience, including leadership roles in other Chicken Salad Chick locations, this family team is passionate about serving both high-quality food and fostering friendships within their community. Marie Hoffpauir expressed her enthusiasm by saying, "We’re thrilled to open our second Chicken Salad Chick restaurant in Bryan. We’ve built lasting friendships throughout the Bryan community, and we’re excited to bring the Chicken Salad Chick experience to more of our neighbors."
Scott Deviney, President and CEO, highlighted the significance of the brand's growth in Texas, emphasizing that the partners possess the ideal backgrounds to help further their mission of spreading joy and enriching lives through their generous and hospitable offerings.
Giving Back to the Community
One of the core values of Chicken Salad Chick is giving back. They established the CSC Foundation, which seeks to support CURE Childhood Cancer and local food banks with annual fundraising events. Their commitment to the community is reflected in their pre-opening events, which will fundraise for the Pink Alliance—an organization dedicated to aiding newly diagnosed breast cancer patients and promoting community health awareness.
Starting from March 10, Chicken Salad Chick in Bryan will operate from Monday to Saturday, between 10 AM and 9 PM. Diners can enjoy in-house dining, take-out options, third-party delivery, and catering services. For those interested in staying informed about the latest events and promotions, the restaurant encourages potential guests to check their Facebook page, as well as the official Chicken Salad Chick website for additional details. The anticipation surrounding the opening day is palpable, and guests are encouraged to arrive early to secure their place in line for an evening filled with delightful food and community spirit.
For many in Bryan, the arrival of Chicken Salad Chick signifies not just a new dining option but also a place where community, family, and good food converge. This opening is a promising addition to the local culinary scene and stands as a testament to growing Southern influences in Texas.
