The Flowood
restaurant is owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Blake and Shae
Fuller of Taste and C, LLC. Blake was first introduced to Chicken Salad
Chick when he met founder Stacy Brown and her husband, Kevin while working
as a food broker. He was immediately drawn to the brand’s welcoming culture
and mounting success, which fueled his desire to become a Chicken Salad
Chick franchisee. After trying the food firsthand, the Fullers, along with
their business partners David Stephens and Walt Marcello, decided to bring
Chicken Salad Chick to more communities throughout Mississippi, starting
with their new location in Flowood. The pair plans to open additional restaurants
in the Hattiesburg and Jackson, Mississippi markets, with the first restaurant
in Hattiesburg slated to open this summer.

“It
has always been a dream of ours to own a restaurant, but we couldn’t find
a concept that aligned with our personal values and goals. The moment I
was introduced to Chicken Salad Chick that all changed,” said Blake Fuller.
“The simplicity of the restaurant operations coupled with the high-quality
chicken salad and friendly environment make Chicken Salad Chick a unique
dining experience. We’re thrilled to be joining a brand that we believe
in and look forward to bringing this one-of-a-kind concept to more communities
in the state I’ve called home for nearly 37 years.”
The
Chicken Salad Chick concept, born in Auburn, was established in 2008 in
the kitchen of founder, Stacy Brown. 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 the business expertise of her future
husband and fellow founder, Kevin Brown. Together, they opened a small
takeout restaurant, which quickly grew; the company now has 85 restaurants
across the Southeast.

Salad Chick in Flowood will be open Monday – Saturday from 10:30 a.m. –
