The Bradenton restaurant is owned and operated by first-time franchisee Karen Jordan of Manasota Chick, LLC. Jordan was first introduced to the brand back in 2018 while on vacation in Chattanooga, Tennessee. After losing her job during the COVID-19 pandemic, she began researching opportunities outside of the corporate world and took a deeper look into franchising with Chicken Salad Chick. She quickly recognized the company's track record for success and family-centered brand values similar to her own - such as the passion for enriching lives and serving others - and decided to join the Chick family.

"As the former Director of Field Training and a Franchise Business Consultant for Golden Corral, I gained a lot of knowledge about the restaurant industry that I knew I could apply to my own business. The pandemic gave me the time and motivation to start making that dream a reality," said Karen Jordan. "While searching for concepts that would best fit me and what I was looking for in a culture, I kept coming back to Chicken Salad Chick. Today, I'm thrilled to call myself a Chick owner and can't wait to serve the Bradenton community with our delicious made-from-scratch recipes and welcoming atmosphere."
