Chicken Salad Chick is now aiming for an early September opening at its upcoming Olney location.
The restaurant shared the updated timeframe in the comment section of a recent social media post showing progress inside the space. The location was previously targeting a mid-July debut after its original anticipated spring opening.
As previously reported, the fast-growing Southern-style restaurant is coming to Olney Village Center at 18209 Village Center Drive, next to Hallmark, in the space formerly occupied by a karate studio.
The Olney restaurant will be operated by franchise owners Jim Schleckser and Carrie Tydings, both of whom have deep roots in the community. The pair has long been involved with private school and nonprofit boards, as well as youth athletics, and views the restaurant as another way to invest locally and give back to the community.
Chicken Salad Chick offers a variety of signature chicken salad flavors, along with soups, sandwiches, salads, and desserts. The owners have previously shared that the brand’s emphasis on hospitality, service, and community connection played a major role in their decision to bring the concept to Montgomery County.
Once it opens, the Olney location will become Chicken Salad Chick’s second restaurant in Maryland, joining its Westminster location. An exact opening date has not yet been announced.
