Long-time Louisiana residents, Cindy and Claiborne Self of CC Chick, LLC are new to Chicken Salad Chick but already have decades of experience owning close to 40 successful businesses over the years. The husband-and-wife team shares a sense of adventure that has sparked their entrepreneurial journey. In fact, they met while Cindy was a flight instructor at Northwestern State University, and her pilot's license gave them the freedom to develop businesses just a short plane ride away throughout Louisiana and the Southeast. It was their first Waxing The City location that brought them to Lake Charles, where they are now expanding into Chicken Salad Chick ownership as well. This pair loves the challenge of starting a new business and knows a great fit for the community when they see it.

"Through all of the retail stores we've owned and property investments we've made over the years, it was opening our salons that showed us the joy of interacting with our customers and providing a service that they really appreciate," said Cindy Self, co-owner of Chicken Salad Chick Lake Charles. "We recognize the same opportunity with Chicken Salad Chick to spread joy and enrich lives by serving our guests freshly prepared food that will nourish and bring family and friends together. The Lake Charles community has been very supportive of us, and we look forward to giving them a new dining option we know they are going to love."

Chicken Salad Chick Lake Charles will be open Monday – Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. For more information, visit www.chickensaladchick.com. Follow Chicken Salad Chick on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for the latest news and trends.
