The Johnson County-based sisters and Kansas City natives are launching their first ever joint-venture with the opening of three Chicken Salad Chick locations to serve the suburbs surrounding Prairie Village, Olathe, Overland Park and Lenexa, Kansas.
“I first discovered Chicken Salad Chick in 2012 with my sister on one of our trips to Destin, Florida. We love the concept and ultimately decided to bring it to Kansas,” said Jo Anne Williams, co-owner of the Chicken Salad Chick venture. “We’re thrilled to share Chicken Salad Chick’s classic, made from scratch food and Southern hospitality with our friends, neighbors and communities in Johnson County,” added Cindy Sulzman.
Williams will be leading business development and back-office operations. Sulzman will head up retail operations, catering, and merchandising. Jo Anne’s husband, Kirk – an experienced restaurant operator and franchisee, will oversee restaurant operations and development.
This new agreement complements Chicken Salad Chick’s introduction into the Kansas City market as Kendra and Alan Greenwood recently signed on to develop locations in Lee’s Summit and Blue Springs, MO.
These new Chicken Salad Chick locations on both the Missouri and Kansas sides of the Kansas City market are set to open in 2025. For more information about Chicken Salad Chick, please visit www.chickensaladchick.com.
