Chicken Salad Chick announced the relocation of its headquarters from Auburn, AL to Atlanta, GA. The move will take place during the first quarter of 2021.
The company’s new office will be located in Vinings at the Overlook II building – across the street from its Vinings restaurant – housing the leadership team of approximately 40 current and new employees. Chicken Salad Chick expects 17 Auburn-based corporate employees to transition to the new headquarters in metro-Atlanta January through May, 2021. The company will fill the remaining 20 positions with local talent.
“We’ve seen increased interest from Atlanta’s diverse and talented workforce,” said Chicken Salad Chick President and CEO Scott Deviney. “This relocation positions Chicken Salad Chick to scale at an accelerated rate and meet aggressive growth goals, while allowing us to broaden our vision for the future.”
Chicken Salad Chick hired nearly a dozen corporate positions locally in Atlanta throughout 2020 that will manage and support the brand throughout the Southeast and Midwest. Chicken Salad Chick promoted three Atlanta-based executives to its C-suite, including Jim Thompson as chief operating officer, Terry McKee as chief development officer and Tom Carr as chief marketing officer. Most recently, Atlantans Marianna Magee, Jon Musser, Mary Lou Atkins and Kim Bolinger were named director of marketing, director of supply chain, VP of human resources and director of operations for the Atlanta market.
Georgia is home to 32 Chicken Salad Chick locations with existing locations in Alpharetta, Buckhead, Carrollton, Cumming, Kennesaw, Marietta, McDonough, Newnan, Peachtree City, Roswell, Stockbridge and Vinings, and recently established a restaurant in Buford near Mall of Georgia.
