Chicken Salad Chick of Granbury is the first opening by couple Mark Blessing and Amanda Krause and the inaugural Chick in Hood County. As an experienced and longtime franchise owner with the Great Clips network, Blessing joins the brand with an extensive background in franchise business management and leadership. Krause brings her own expertise, having managed their family-owned consignment store, Blessed Again, while her background in veterinary medicine honed her client relations and operational management skills. Together, the pair are slated to develop two new Chicks in the Stephenville and Abilene areas in the coming years.

"Chicken Salad Chick is one of those brands that we connected with instantly. We had lunch one day at Chicken Salad Chick, and less than a year later, we're opening the first Chick in my town," said Mark Blessing, franchise owner of Chicken Salad Chick of Granbury. "I've lived in Granbury for 15 years and operated a business here for more than two decades – this town is home. It's a dynamic, growing city full of great people, and just a fun place to be. Chicken Salad Chick's mission to spread joy, enrich lives, and serve others aligns perfectly with the culture we've built in our other business, and we look forward to continuing that spirit here."

Chicken Salad Chick is known for its dozen-plus variety of made-from-scratch chicken salad flavors, fresh side salads, gourmet soups, signature sandwiches, and desserts. The new Granbury restaurant offers in-restaurant dining, take-out, third-party delivery, and catering options.

"We are eagerly building on our current momentum in the state of Texas and look forward to continued growth with Mark, Amanda and their team," said Scott Deviney, president and CEO of Chicken Salad Chick. "It's a privilege to work with such dedicated and seasoned franchise partners who extend our brand's reach in new markets. Given their ties and connection to Granbury, we are thankful for Mark and Amanda's leadership in spearheading our expansion efforts there."

Giving back to the community is an important focus for the Granbury team and the Chicken Salad Chick brand, which established the CSC Foundation to support CURE Childhood Cancer and local food banks with fundraisers throughout the year. As part of pre-opening Friends & Family events in Granbury, the restaurant will be raising money for Mission Granbury, which provides support and resources to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and other crimes.

Chicken Salad Chick of Granbury will be open Monday – Saturday from 10am – 8pm. For more information, visit www.chickensaladchick.com. Follow Chicken Salad Chick on Facebook and Instagram for the latest news and trends.
