The Starkville restaurant is owned and operated by first-time Chicken Salad Chick franchisee Eric Hallberg of HP Restaurant, LLC. With extensive background in the restaurant industry, Hallberg is well-versed in foodservice management and operations. His business expertise coupled with his roots in hospitality fueled his desire to open his own restaurant and given Chicken Salad Chick's emphasis on quality ingredients and a service-driven atmosphere, he was attracted to the franchising opportunity.
"As an alumnus of Mississippi State University, opening a restaurant in the city of Starkville was important to me. I knew I wanted to introduce students to a unique concept that catered to their active lifestyles and Chicken Salad Chick fit the bill," said Hallberg. "With takeout offerings, a drive-thru and a convenient location, Chicken Salad Chick is the perfect addition to this growing college town. I'm proud to be joining Chicken Salad Chick's family of franchisees and look forward to serving the residents of Starkville for years to come."
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 110 restaurants currently open in 13 states and remains a standout brand within the fast casual segment.
