The Gonzales restaurant is owned and operated by multi-unit franchise owners Beau and Pete Nicolosi of PN&A, LLC. The father-and-son duo introduced the greater Baton Rouge community to the diverse flavors of Chicken Salad Chick in 2017 and quickly made an impact on the culinary scene. Following the debut in Denham Springs, the Nicolosis opened an additional restaurant in Baton Rouge and now, are thrilled to expand to Gonzales. The pair also operate a restaurant in Lafayette and have plans to open two additional restaurants in southern Louisiana.

"It's such an exciting milestone to be opening yet another restaurant in the greater Baton Rouge area and we couldn't be more excited," said Beau Nicolosi. "With each community we set roots in, we're blown away by how passionate residents are about the quality of flavors and warm dining atmosphere Chicken Salad Chick has to offer. This response fuels our desire to grow and we couldn't have picked a better community for our next restaurant than Gonzales. We can't wait to welcome in repeat customers and new diners alike, and know we're going to be a welcome addition to the city's diverse collection of restaurants."
