Ownership and Community Commitment
The Palm Coast restaurant is the brainchild of franchise owners Darin and Lyndsey Melvin. This dynamic husband-and-wife team is looking to make their mark in the Florida restaurant scene, having previously opened locations in Tallahassee and Lake City. Darin Melvin expressed the couple's enthusiasm about the new venture: "We're thrilled to open our second Chicken Salad Chick location and continue growing with the brand. Opening our first restaurant has been such a rewarding experience, and we’re proud to bring that same commitment of quality food and exceptional service to the Palm Coast community."
The Melvins aim not only to deliver high-quality food but also to foster community relationships through various initiatives. As part of their outreach, they will raise funds for CURE Childhood Cancer, a nonprofit organization dedicated to finding cures for childhood cancer through targeted research.
