The husband-and-wife franchisee team, who now reside in Oxford, discovered the brand seven years ago, when\u00a0Robin&#8217;s sister started working at the Chicken Salad Chick corporate office. After becoming familiar with the brand&#8217;s franchising opportunities, Robin and Will decided to partner with their families to form <strong>YESSAM, LLC<\/strong> and bring the first restaurant into the state of Mississippi.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The Chicken Salad Chick concept was established in 2008 in the kitchen of founder, <strong>Stacy Brown<\/strong>. When Stacy discovered that the local county health department would not allow her to continue making and selling her delicious recipes out of her home kitchen, she overcame that obstacle by launching her first restaurant with her future husband and fellow founder, <strong>Kevin Brown<\/strong>. Together, they opened a small takeout restaurant, which quickly grew; the company now has more than 65 restaurants across the Southeast.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><!-- pagebreak --><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The Grand Opening schedule and following week at the Chicken Salad Chick:\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><!-- pagebreak --><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_303852090\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Tuesday, March 28<\/span><\/span> \u2013 Free Chicken Salad for a Year \u2013 The first guest will win one large Quick Chick of chicken salad per week for an entire year; the next 99 guests receive a large Quick Chick of chicken salad per month for a year.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_303852091\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Wednesday, March 29<\/span><\/span> \u2013 The first 100 guests to purchase The Chick will receive a limited edition Chicken Salad Chick RTIC Tumbler.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_303852092\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Thursday, March 30<\/span><\/span> \u2013 Thirsty <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_303852093\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Thursday<\/span><\/span> \u2013 The first 100 guests to purchase The Chick will receive a free large drink and a Chick Coozie.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_303852094\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Friday, March 31<\/span><\/span> \u2013 Free Scoop <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_303852095\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Friday<\/span><\/span> \u2013 The first 100 guests will receive a free scoop of Classic Carol chicken salad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_303852096\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Saturday, April 1<\/span><\/span> \u2013 Kids Eat Free All Day \u2013 Kids will receive one free kids meal with the purchase of The Chick<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Chicken Salad Chick will be open <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_303852097\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Monday<\/span><\/span> \u2013 <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_303852098\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Friday<\/span><\/span> from <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_303852099\"><span class=\"aQJ\">10:30 a.m. \u2013 8 p.m.<\/span><\/span> and <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_303852100\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Saturday<\/span><\/span> from <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_303852101\"><span class=\"aQJ\">10:30 a.m. \u2013 6 p.m.<\/span><\/span> For more information, visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chickensaladchick.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=http:\/\/www.chickensaladchick.com\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1490376821541000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGLRahyuZXbVOvVodHhiFrqx-r7Ug\">http:\/\/www.chickensaladc<wbr \/>hick.com<\/a>, or call <a href=\"tel:(662)%20380-5582\" target=\"_blank\">662-380-5582<\/a>.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/TheLocalVoiceLigature-25web.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"25\" height=\"16\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14544\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/TheLocalVoiceLigature-25web.jpg?resize=25%2C16\" alt=\"The Local Voice Ligature\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicken Salad Chick,\u00a0fast casual chicken salad restaurant concept, opening its first Mississippi restaurant in Oxford.
