Chicken Salad Chick first came to the nearby Augusta market in 2016 and has three locations in the area. General Manager and Aiken resident Mark Meeks has been serving the local community for the past two years in Augusta. He looks forward to welcoming his neighbors to the new restaurant.

“Our talented Chicken Salad Chick team can’t wait to open our doors and help kick off this new Aiken Towne Park development,” said Scott Deviney, CEO of Chicken Salad Chick. “We are passionate about what we do, aiming to make lunch or dinner with us a highlight of our guests’ day. That starts with chicken salad made from scratch and served with a smile, and it extends to our convenient drive-thru, catering options and the grab-and-go ease of our Quick Chicks. We are so grateful for our loyal fans in the Augusta area who have supported us over the past eight years, and we are excited for the opportunity to bring the Chicken Salad Chick culture of service and hospitality to Aiken.”  

As part of the pre-opening Friends & Family events in Aiken, Chicken Salad Chick will be supporting Area Churches Together Serving (ACTS), to help support the mission of providing meals, clothing and other assistance to neighbors in need. Through the Chicken Salad Chick Foundation, the company also raises funds for organizations throughout the year to fight childhood cancer and support local food banks and food-related charities
