Chicken Salad Chick Reopens in Palm Harbor and Expands to Clearwater
Chicken Salad Chick, a beloved fast-casual restaurant specializing in chicken salad, is making a triumphant return to Palm Harbor, Florida, just two weeks ahead of its grand opening in Clearwater. After a devastating fire earlier this year forced the original Palm Harbor location to close, the franchise owners are back and ready to serve their loyal customers with a new location that is set to open on July 23, 2025. This is part of a broader expansion for the brand in the state, marking a total of 40 restaurants in Florida.
A Community Celebration
In a remarkable show of resilience, the franchise partners, Paul and Linsay Rohr, are not just reopening; they are committed to bringing joy and comfort back to their community. To celebrate the reopening, the Chicken Salad Chick locations in both Palm Harbor and Clearwater are rolling out exciting promotions designed to draw in customers and showcase the restaurant's renowned Southern hospitality. The first 100 guests at each location's grand opening will receive a year’s supply of free chicken salad, emphasizing the community-focused mindset that Chicken Salad Chick champions.
Grand Opening Highlights
Palm Harbor will kick off the celebrations on July 23 with a series of giveaways:
- - Free Chicken Salad for a Year: The first customer in line at 10:30 AM will receive one free large Quick Chick of chicken salad per week for a year, while the next 99 guests will get a monthly supply for the same duration.
- - Day 2 Special: On July 24, the first 100 customers who purchase a Chick Meal will receive a complimentary scoop of any flavor of chicken salad.

Clearwater, the festivities will commence on August 5, where guests can also expect similar exciting offers. Additionally, throughout that week, various promotions will be available to thank the community for their support and patronage.
From Medical Professionals to Franchise Owners
Before venturing into the restaurant industry, Paul and Linsay Rohr worked in the medical field. Their passion for serving people and their desire to create a welcoming dining environment inspired them to transition into the restaurant business. Since opening their first Chicken Salad Chick location in 2015, they have successfully expanded their reach in Florida, with four other locations already servicing various areas, including Brooksville, Seminole, St. Petersburg, and Trinity.
A Commitment to Community
The Rohrs’ devotion goes beyond just serving delicious food. They believe in giving back to the communities they serve, which is why they have actively partnered with various local organizations, including the CSC Foundation, which contributes to CURE Childhood Cancer and local food banks. Their pre-opening events in Palm Harbor and Clearwater aim to raise funds for Folds of Honor, a charity that provides educational scholarships to the families of fallen service members, a personal mission for Paul, a U.S. Army veteran.
Dining Options and Future Growth
Both the Palm Harbor and Clearwater locations will offer in-restaurant dining, outdoor seating, drive-thru services, take-out, third-party delivery, and catering options, ensuring that they cater to various customer preferences. As Chicken Salad Chick continues to expand its footprint, the leadership team is excited about the opportunities to build community and create lasting memories for their guests through their vibrant and flavorful menu.
As Scott Deviney, President and CEO of Chicken Salad Chick, stated, “Reopening in Palm Harbor and launching our 40th location in Florida is incredibly rewarding. Together with the Rohrs, we are committed to enhancing dining moments for our customers and continually growing our brand.”
