Chicken Salad Chick opens in Magnolia Plaza
By Jason Benavides – On March 10, about 100 guests gathered at Magnolia Plaza during the grand opening of Chicken Salad Chick in Cornelius, eagerly awaiting their turn to order. The restaurant is known for its variety of made-from-scratch chicken salad flavors, fresh sides, soups, sandwiches and desserts.
Current Huntersville resident Samantha used to live near the Concord Mills location and was “very excited” to learn of the Cornelius opening. She arrived at 4 a.m. to be first in line. “I love Chicken Salad Chick and I was not going to miss this,” she said.
Her favorite flavor is Fancy Nancy, which includes Fuji apples, grapes and crunchy pecans.
The Cornelius location is operated by Sing Bev Hospitality, which owns and operates Chicken Salad Chick restaurants across North and South Carolina. The group opened its first Charlotte-area location in 2014.
“We always say we’re here to spread joy, enrich lives and serve others, and that’s what we want to do here in Cornelius,” said Carl Thoder, director of franchise operations.

Chicken Salad with mayonnaise? 😳
Fruit and broccoli salad are The best-liked for our family.
The chicken salad has high corn fructose and is a bad ingredient we try to avoid and diabetic customers like our family.
If they didn’t use that we would try more often.
The price is expensive but we try to share.
We still make it at home for the whole family to have their own.
