Chicken Salad Chick moving headquarters to Cobb County
An Alabama-based company with several restaurants around metro Atlanta will be relocating its headquarters to Cobb County.
Chicken Salad Chick announced this week that it will move from Auburn, Alabama, to the Overlook II building at 2839 Paces Ferry Road in Vinings.
The relocation will take place by the end of March. The company said 17 employees based in Alabama will relocate to Vinings by May. It will fill the remaining 20 positions with local hires.
Chicken Salad Chick President and CEO Scott Deviney said the moving to metro Atlanta will help the company “meet aggressive growth goals, while allowing us to broaden our vision for the future.” He also said Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport allows the company “swift access” to possible vendors and people who may be interested in opening a franchise.
“Atlanta has always fostered a nurturing business environment for companies to kickstart their growth,” he said.
The company was founded in 2008 by Stacy Brown and her late husband, Kevin. According to its website, Chicken Salad Chick has 166 restaurants in 17 states. It has 32 restaurants in Georgia, including in Alpharetta, Buckhead, Buford, Johns Creek, Kennesaw, Loganville, Marietta, Roswell and Snellville.
