Behind the Tri-Cities area development are multi-unit franchise owners James and Jessica Denham of TriCities Chick, LLC. The duo opened their first Chicken Salad Chick restaurant in Bristol last year, alongside their partners Andy Tolley and Chip and Beth Backus, who bring more than 20 years of food service experience combined to the brand. Following their opening in Johnson City, the Denhams have plans to develop an additional Chicken Salad Chick location in Kingsport, Tennessee.

"Jessica and I experienced Chicken Salad Chick for the first time while at Auburn University in 2016 and immediately knew we wanted to dive deeper into the brand. We've always had entrepreneurial spirits and when looking at our options for restaurant concepts to own and operate, Chicken Salad Chick's made-from-scratch menu items and core values were the perfect fit," said James Denham. "Since opening in Bristol, the community has been so incredibly supportive and further fueled our decision to bring the brand to our home in Johnson City. We've grown to love Johnson City over the past eight years and can't wait to serve our friends, family and neighbors the Southern classic they crave."
