Emily Gray and Hudson Sandefur of Little Rocking Chick, LLC first brought Chicken Salad Chick’s made-from-scratch menu and focus on service from the heart to Benton in June 2020. Two more locations followed in 2022 - on Warden Road in North Little Rock and Chenal Parkway on the west side of town. The co-owners have a long history with the company; Gray started out as a corporate trainer, and Sandefur owns several other Chicks across Mississippi and Tennessee.
“Hudson and I are really thankful for our guests throughout the Little Rock area who have supported these businesses over the past four years. Our restaurant teams come to work every day excited about the opportunity to serve the community within our four walls and out and about where they live and play,” said Emily Gray. “Maumelle has so much charm and character; it’s a perfect fit for Chicken Salad Chick’s focus on enriching lives and serving others.
Whether they come in to the dining room, pick up in the drive-thru or want us to cater their next function, we’re going to take great care of our new neighbors.”
This restaurant team enjoys giving back to important causes throughout the year, including partnering with the CSC Foundation to support CURE Childhood Cancer and local food banks. With the North Little Rock-Maumelle opening, they are accepting donations for Arkansas Children’s Hospital as part of their pre-opening Friends & Family events.
