The Lake Mary Chicken Salad Chick is owned and operated by existing franchisees Buck and Brooklyn Harris of CSC Three, LLC. The husband-and-wife duo has more than 15 years of experience in the foodservice industry, initially operating a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Ormond Beach before making the switch to Chicken Salad Chick in 2015. In addition to their new Lake Mary location, the duo operates two Chicken Salad Chick restaurants in Ormond Beach and Port Orange, with plans to develop more restaurants in the greater Central Florida area over the next few years.
“As foodservice veterans in the fast casual chicken segment, Brooklyn and I know a thing or two about what makes a brand standout,” said Buck Harris. “Chicken Salad Chick’s genuine personality, wholesome atmosphere and attention to detail in both the restaurant design and menu offerings make this brand feel like home. We are thrilled to be opening a location in Lake Mary and look forward to serving residents for years to come.”
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 and began franchising in 2012. In 2015, Eagle Merchant Partners purchased a majority stake in Chicken Salad Chick, and under the leadership of CEO Scott Deviney and team, the company now has 103 restaurants across the Southeast.
