Chicken Salad Chick begins New Orleans expansion
Chicken Salad Chick is continuing to grow its footprint into new areas.
The fast-casual chicken salad restaurant concept will open its first restaurant in the New Orleans metro region on April 22. Chicken Salad Chick of Metairie, located just west of The Big Easy, marks the debut location for Nibbles Hospitality Group, led by Bill and Anne DiPaola and Tiffany and Paul Spring. The partners are two husband-and-wife teams who have signed on to bring four Chicken Salad Chick locations to the New Orleans market.
The new Metairie restaurant will offer in-restaurant and outdoor patio dining, drive-thru, curbside, take-out, third-party delivery, and catering options.
