Spearheading the growth in the Dallas-Forth Worth area is longtime Irving resident and first-time Chicken Salad Chick franchisee Luis Ibarguengoytia of Metroplex CSC, LLC.

Alongside the Irving restaurant, Ibarguengoytia and his wife Lesslie plan to open 15 Chicken Salad Chick locations across the Dallas-Fort Worth area over the next several years, with restaurants in McKinney, Arlington and Mansfield slated to open in 2019.
"My wife and I have called Irving home for the past 20 years and in that time, we have seen a lot of growth in the community with the introduction of new businesses and shopping centers. While we've seen several restaurants pop up, we felt that there was a need for a unique concept with a welcoming environment and genuine hospitality. We knew that concept was Chicken Salad Chick," said Luis Ibarguengoytia. "The company brings so much joy to its customers through its flavorful chicken salad recipes, endearing atmosphere and top notch customer service. Chicken Salad Chick is a perfect fit for Irving and we are excited to open our doors to our family, neighbors and friends."
The Chicken Salad Chick concept was established in 2008 by founder, Stacy Brown. With more than a dozen original chicken salad flavors as well as fresh side salads, gourmet soups, signature sandwiches and delicious desserts, Chicken Salad Chick's robust menu offers a variety of options suitable for any guest. In 2015, Eagle Merchant Partners purchased a majority stake in Chicken Salad Chick, and under the leadership of CEO Scott Deviney and team, the company now has more than 100 restaurants currently open in 13 states and remains a standout brand within the fast casual segment.
