Julie Beville and Michelle Singleton of Sing Bev Hospitality opened their first Chicken Salad Chick in Greenville, South Carolina, in 2013 and have steadily expanded over the past decade to own and operate a total of 18 locations throughout North and South Carolina. They brought Chicken Salad Chick to Lexington’s Sunset Boulevard in 2013, followed by their Irmo location on Harbison Boulevard in 2014.

“Our team is thrilled to be opening a new Chicken Salad Chick on the east side of Columbia, and specifically in Trenholm Plaza,” said Julie Beville. “Guests at our Lexington and Irmo restaurants have been clamoring for a location on this side of town, closer to Downtown and the university. We have looked at numerous opportunities over the years and had our eyes on Trenholm Plaza for a long time. We are so glad we are finally able to expand into such a great lifestyle center alongside many wonderful shops and restaurants.”

Sing Bev Hospitality also makes community partnerships a priority. They have been supporting local chapters of the American Cancer Society for years through Chicken Salad Chick’s Annual Giving Card and numerous other events and programs that reinforce the CSC Foundation’s mission to help raise money to find a cure for cancer. With the Trenholm Plaza opening, they will be supporting the local chapter of the American Cancer Society once again as part of their pre-opening Friends & Family events.
