Chicken Salad Chick Expands Virginia Presence with New Herndon Location

Chicken Salad Chick, the unique fast-casual dining chain specializing in chicken salad, is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its latest restaurant in Herndon, Virginia. Located at 494 Elden Street, this marks the 11th Chicken Salad Chick location in the state. The community is invited to join the celebration on November 18, where the first 100 guests will have the opportunity to win free chicken salad for an entire year.

Grand Opening Festivities

The grand opening is set to start at 10:30 AM on November 18, with a series of exciting events and giveaways planned throughout the day. The first guest in line will receive a free large Quick Chick of chicken salad weekly for one year, while the next 99 guests will enjoy their own large Quick Chick monthly for the same duration. Additionally, the first 50 individuals arriving at 10:30 AM will receive a stylish green stainless-steel tumbler to commemorate the occasion.

The fun continues throughout the week, with each day offering unique giveaways, including small coolers, tumblers, cutting boards, and even tote bags for guests making purchases. The atmosphere will reflect the restaurant's commitment to Southern hospitality and community support, making it a must-visit for residents and newcomers alike.

Community Connection and Future Plans

This restaurant is owned by Fairfax County locals Devon Chamberlin, Barry Chamberlin, and Patrick Cavanaugh, who have previously opened the Falls Church and Fairfax locations in late 2024. Their franchise group, CSC NOVA Group, LLC, has ambitious plans for further expansion, targeting future establishments in Arlington, Fairfax, and Loudoun Counties. Devon Chamberlin expressed enthusiasm about the new location, stating, "It’s been such a fun and rewarding journey expanding with the brand so far." Their connection to the community has been instrumental in their success, and they are eager to bring this delicious dining option to Herndon.

In alignment with its goal of giving back, Chicken Salad Chick is also known for its philanthropic efforts. The Herndon team will host fundraising activities for the Ronald McDonald House of Greater Washington, showcasing their commitment to community welfare. The restaurant has also established the CSC Foundation to support childhood cancer research and local food banks, ensuring their impact extends beyond delicious meals.

Menu Offerings and Dining Experience

Customers can expect a mouthwatering array of options at the Herndon Chicken Salad Chick, featuring over a dozen varieties of chicken salad, gourmet soups, fresh side salads, and signature sandwiches. The new location provides cozy in-restaurant dining as well as outdoor seating, take-out services, third-party delivery, and catering to accommodate all customer needs and preferences.

Scott Deviney, the CEO and president of Chicken Salad Chick, spoke highly of the new location's potential. "Fairfax County, especially Herndon, offers tremendous business potential with its blend of small-town charm and proximity to Washington, D.C. We're thrilled for their third grand opening and excited to bring the Chick experience to an area with such a strong sense of community and diverse dining options."
