Chicken Salad Chick of Wichita – Maize marks the second Chicken Salad Chick location in the state of Kansas. The restaurant is owned and operated by Troy Morrison, the brand's largest franchisee. A seasoned entrepreneur, Morrison operates over 100 Taco Bell and Wingstop locations nationwide, along with 25 Chicken Salad Chick restaurants across Indiana, Oklahoma and Texas through his franchise group, Meauxmentum Strategies and Investments. Wichita – Maize marks his seventh Chicken Salad Chick opening this year, following new restaurants in Pflugerville, Texas (March), Austin, Texas (August), and Mansfield, Texas; along with Del City and Norman, Oklahoma (October). Morrison also holds development rights for 11 restaurants in the greater Austin area and recently expanded into Indianapolis, Indiana and Tulsa, Oklahoma.

"I'm thrilled to be expanding my business portfolio with Chicken Salad Chick here in Kansas," said Troy Morrison, franchise owner of Chicken Salad Chick of Wichita – Maize. "I knew I wanted to bring a restaurant to Wichita, and specifically Maize, because it's a growing area that still maintains a small-town feel and has a strong sense of community. This is my sixth opening this year, so things have certainly been busy, but expanding into a new state by year's end has been very rewarding. I'm excited for what lies ahead and look forward to making Chicken Salad Chick a beloved addition to this city."

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 Wichita – Maize restaurant offers in-restaurant dining, take-out, third-party delivery, and catering options.

"We're thrilled to be expanding Chicken Salad Chick's presence in the great state of Kansas," said Scott Deviney, CEO and president of Chicken Salad Chick. "Kansas is a key development state for us as we continue to grow in the Midwest, so having a strong franchise partner like Troy involved in our expansion efforts is really exciting. Since joining our family, Troy has played an invaluable role in helping us bring The Chick to new communities. Expanding in Wichita marks an important milestone for our brand, and we look forward to seeing all that Troy accomplishes with this new location."

Giving back to the community is an important focus for the Wichita – Maize 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 Wichita, the restaurant will be raising money for Wichita's Littlest Heroes, a pediatric non-profit that fights for Hero children and their families who are battling against life threatening and altering medical conditions.

Chicken Salad Chick of Wichita – Maize will be open Monday – Saturday from 10am – 9pm. For more information, visit www.chickensaladchick.com. Follow Chicken Salad Chick on Facebook and Instagram for the latest news and trends.
