A fast casual chicken salad restaurant concept will open five locations across Northern Colorado. The development deal will mark Chicken Salad Chick’s debut in Colorado.
Chicken Salad Chick could open in areas such as Fort Collins, Longmont, Loveland, Johnstown, Windsor, and Greeley. Colorado residents David and Jessica Zumbrun are behind the franchise locations. The Zumbruns plan to open the first of the five locations by the end of 2022 with the second to follow in 2023.
“It’s exciting to see Chicken Salad Chick’s westward expansion in action,” said Scott Deviney, CEO of Chicken Salad Chick, in a statement. “The Zumbruns approached us in 2019 and have since been dedicated to securing their spot in our family of franchise owners. Together, they will help us further propel the brand into the West, and their enthusiasm toward bringing the Chicken Salad Chick brand to communities in Colorado is exactly what aligns them with our values and culture as a franchise organization.”
Chicken Salad Chick serves scratch-made, Southern-style chicken salad in more than a dozen original flavors as well as fresh side salads, gourmet soups, signature sandwiches, and desserts.
Chicken Salad Chick is looking to further expand across Colorado by adding 15 locations over the next five years. Locations could include Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and Grand Junction.
Jessica Zumbrun did not return What Now Denver’s request for information.
