Karmen Hayes of
Florida Retail Partners, an X Team partner, brokered a 3,555 square foot lease
for Chicken Salad Chick at University Collection in Tampa.
The newest location for the fast casual eatery which serves
15 styles of chicken salad, soups, salads and desserts will be located at the
corner of East Fowler Ave and Bruce B Downs Blvd, near the University of South
Florida and University Square Mall.
“We’re excited to be opening our first Tampa Bay location
near the USF Campus,” said company president Kevin Brown. “The endcap space will feature a great outside dining
patio.” The local franchise will be run by Brad and Tammy Cochran.
The March/April issue of Cooking with Paula Deen magazine names Chicken Salad Chick as the top spot in the country to try chicken salad.
“Our team strives to provide a true chicken salad experience to each of our guests, and we hope that this recognition will allow us to serve new guests in our growing number of restaurants across the Southeast!”
The Chicken Salad Chick concept was established in Auburn,
AL in 2008 in the kitchen of founder Stacy Brown. Stacy quickly learned that
selling a homemade recipe from her kitchen is against the law, and after being
shut down by the health department, she decided to solicit the business
expertise of her future husband and fellow founder, Kevin.
Together, they
opened a small takeout restaurant which quickly grew to enormous demand and
additional locations.
Chicken Salad Chick puts an edgy twist on a Southern
classic, offering guests a “custom-fit” chicken salad experience with 15
original flavors to choose from, as well as gourmet soups, flavorful side
salads and freshly-baked desserts.
There are currently 30 Chicken Salad Chick
locations throughout the Southeast.
