Case Story:

Chicken Salad Chick Franchise Expansion Support

Project Overview

Chicken Salad Chick started with founder Stacey Brown, a single mom making chicken salad at home for friends and family. What began as a simple idea quickly turned into a thriving franchise brand, growing well beyond its original footprint.

As the company expanded into new regions across the country, including growth moving westward, Singer Equipment was brought in to provide comprehensive support that could keep pace with that momentum.

The Challenge

Rapid expansion brings opportunity, but it also brings pressure. When Chicken Salad Chick moved into newer territories such as Colorado, Utah, and the Upper Midwest, the brand faced a practical question of scale.

    • New markets required dependable support and consistent execution.
    • Expansion increased demands on installation crews and project coordination.
    • Floor plans and pricing resources had to scale quickly to support franchise growth.

The team needed a partner who could cover more ground without sacrificing the standards franchise owners rely on.

Our Solution

Singer approached Chicken Salad Chick’s expansion with the goal of removing operational obstacles so the brand could stay focused on growth and franchise success.

Full Project Support From Start to Finish

Singer was involved from A to Z, supporting each location through design, quoting, installation, and ongoing service and warranty needs. Each restaurant kitchen was not only built, but supported after opening.

Scalable Resources for New Territories

As the brand moved into new markets, Singer provided the staffing and capacity needed to expand consistently. Chicken Salad Chick did not have to worry about having enough crews to install, enough people to produce floor plans, or the bandwidth required to price projects out.

Collaboration Tools and Weekly Partnership Rhythm

To keep communication clear and projects moving, Singer supported the partnership with an ecommerce site the Chicken Salad Chick team could use, plus weekly meetings between teams to align on priorities and timelines.

Support for New Ideas and Future Growth

Singer also remained engaged in ongoing research and development efforts. When Chicken Salad Chick brought forward new ideas, Singer aimed to support and execute them with the same consistency as their core expansion work.

Franchise Owner Focus

Chicken Salad Chick expressed confidence that Singer supports franchise owners with the same level of care the brand itself would provide. That trust helps franchise teams feel supported in every market as the footprint grows.

The Results

 Chicken Salad Chick described meaningful results tied to scale, consistency, and confidence.

    • Expansion into new territories became less stressful and more feasible.
    • Singer removed concerns tied to installs, planning, and pricing resources.
    • The brand gained support for both new builds and long term service needs.
    • Franchise owners experienced care aligned with Chicken Salad Chick standards.
    • Weekly collaboration and R and D support helped keep growth moving forward.

The result is a dependable system that scales with Chicken Salad Chick, helping deliver consistency across every new location.
