If you have a chicken salad obsession and you live in Fort Lauderdale, your wait for an amazing sandwich has almost ended.<\/p>\n

Chicken Salad Chick<\/a>, the restaurant that puts the \u201cchick\u201d in chicken salad, has entered into franchise agreements that would grow the fast casual chain throughout Florida, reports QSR Magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The franchisee that will ultimately bring Chicken Salad Chick to Fort Lauderdale is South Carolina-based The Foundry Group. <\/a>A LinkedIn post by Chicken Salad Chick<\/a> confirms the news, adding that The Foundry Group will also bring several restaurants to Central Florida<\/a>, bringing its total restaurant commitment to one dozen throughout the Sunshine State. At the time, no Fort Lauderdale locations have been announced, and a timeline has not been shared.<\/p>\n

The franchise group has a number of brands under its umbrella in addition to Chicken Salad Chick including Cafe Strudel, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Ember, and the Divine Cinnamon Roll Deli.<\/p>\n

Chicken Salad Chick is also planning to grow in other Florida regions, especially Florida\u2019s west and northeast coasts through similar arrangements, though nothing has been formally announced.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2008 by Stacy and Kevin Brown in Auburn, Alabama, Chicken Salad Chick is a fast casual restaurant dedicated exclusively to fresh made chicken salad. The restaurant offers more than a dozen different chicken salads. Guests can chose their favorite chicken salad in a sandwich, on a platter, or as a to-go \u201cquick chick\u201d.\u00a0 The restaurant also offers pimento cheese, egg salad, soups, salads, and more.<\/p>\n

Today, there are more than 300 Chicken Salad Chicks in 22 states, with plans for continued growth in the Southeast and the Midwest.<\/p>\n
