Chicken Salad Chick signed its largest franchise development agreement to date, securing a 25-unit deal set to introduce the brand's made-from-scratch chicken salad to communities across upstate New York.
The agreement marks a major milestone in Chicken Salad Chick's nationwide expansion and reflects the brand's continued momentum as it enters new markets. The restaurants will be developed across several key markets in the state, including Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and the Upper Hudson Valley.
"This is a landmark moment for Chicken Salad Chick as we expand into new regions," says Mark Verges, vice president of franchise development. "New York represents a tremendous growth opportunity, and we're excited to partner with a seasoned operator to introduce our brand to guests across the state. Our concept continues to resonate nationwide, and we're confident in its ability to perform well in new markets."
In 2025, Chicken Salad Chick signed nearly 100 new franchise restaurant deals and opened 42 locations across 14 states. With this latest deal, there are now nearly 300 locations in its development pipeline.
