The new D'Iberville restaurant is owned and operated by first-time Chicken Salad Chick franchisees Hudson Sandefur and Bruce Ratcliffe of S & R Poultry LLC. The partners have more than 14 years of experience in the foodservice industry, with Sandefur owning six Zaxby's restaurants across Alabama and Mississippi and Ratcliffe having helped manage several of the locations. When Sandefur learned that Ratcliffe wanted to open his own business, he decided to offer Ratcliffe an opportunity to partner with him in a concept that cultivated a wholesome atmosphere by maintaining its core values. Chicken Salad Chick was the perfect fit and the partners are excited to be opening their first restaurant in D'Iberville.
"Running a business can be challenging, so it's important to find a concept that makes you excited to come to work everyday," said Sandefur. "After talking with various owners and seeing how passionate they all are about the brand, I knew Chicken Salad Chick was the right opportunity for Bruce and me. We are thrilled to be opening in D'Iberville and plan to open an additional location in Gulfport over the next 18 months."
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 96 restaurants across the Southeast led by CEO Scott Deviney and a growing team.
Chicken Salad Chick in D'Iberville will be open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. For more information, visit http://www.chickensaladchick.com or call (228) 280-8081. Follow Chicken Salad Chick on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for the latest news and trends.
