The Paducah restaurant is owned and operated by first-time Chicken Salad Chick franchise owners Tony and Katie Englert of TKAB Chick, LLC. The couple was first introduced to the brand back in 2015 while on a family vacation in Panama City Beach, Florida and quickly made it a tradition to visit the restaurant on each returning trip. After learning about Stacy Brown’s founder story and falling for the brand’s mission to spread joy, enrich lives, and serve others, the Englerts were inspired even further to pull from Tony’s 20+ years of restaurant management experience and invest in their own future. Now, the couple is ready to take on their first business venture serving their friends, family, and neighbors back home in Paducah, Kentucky. “Since the first moment we tried a Chicken Salad Chick meal, Tony and I were hooked on the concept and saw a unique quality in the brand’s culture that we wanted to be a part of. We both grew up in Kentucky and knew there was an opportunity to blend our talents in restaurant management and serve others in our hometown that would crave the brand's flavorful menu items,” said Katie Englert. “Paducah is a community full of wonderful people who align perfectly with the Chick mentality and we’re thrilled to make all new Chick fans out of our neighbors.” Chicken Salad Chick in Paducah will be open Monday - Saturday from 10:00a.m. to 8:00p.m. **Guests should arrive starting at 7am to get checked in, while maintaining social distancing. The first 100 guests will be assigned a number and designated return time between 9:45-11:15am. Upon return, guests will make a purchase of “The Chick” or anything of greater value and enter a code on the CravingCredits app to officially secure your spot. If you are late, or miss return time, your spot will be awarded to next in-line. Guests must be 16 years or older, redemption begins 6/14/21.* ## Entities - Franchising.com (publication) - Restaurants (sector) - unit expansion (topic) - restaurant opening (topic) - franchisee (topic) - Chicken Salad Chick (company) - Stacy Brown (person) - covid-19 procedures (topic) - Paducah (location) --- Originally reported by Franchising.com (https://www.franchising.com/news/20210526_chicken_salad_chick_grows_in_kentucky_with_new_paducah_restaurant.html).
