Chicken Salad Chick will soon open a new Central Austin location in the Hancock Center at I-35 and 41st Street.

Known for its made-from-scratch chicken salad flavors and Southern hospitality, the chain also serves soups, sides, desserts and grab-and-go options. The new restaurant will offer catering partnerships for local schools, universities, hospitals and businesses.

Founded in Auburn, Alabama, in 2008, Chicken Salad Chick has grown from a home kitchen concept into a national brand with more than 305 locations in 22 states. The cafe-style chain debuted in Pflugerville earlier this year and plans additional Austin-area openings.
