Chicken Salad Chick of Colorado Springs – Briargate is owned and operated by Kirsten Garrett and her mother, Judy DeVincentis. This marks the mother-daughter duo’s second location, joining their first Colorado Springs restaurant at 5660 Barnes Road, which opened in June 2023. Kirsten first discovered Chicken Salad Chick during her time in the Air Force while stationed in Alabama. She quickly became a regular, drawn in by the brand’s warm hospitality, fresh flavors, and inviting atmosphere. From a business perspective, she was impressed by the simplicity of the franchise model and knew the concept would resonate with the Colorado Springs community.

“I’m incredibly proud to continue growing Chicken Salad Chick’s presence here in Colorado Springs,” said Kirsten Garrett, franchise owner of Chicken Salad Chick of Colorado Springs – Briargate. “What started as a personal love for the brand has grown into a deep appreciation for the community we’ve built through our restaurants. Chicken Salad Chick offers something truly special – fresh, flavorful food served with a side of hospitality. I’m thrilled to continue sharing that experience with both our new and returning guests.”

Chicken Salad Chick is known for its dozen-plus variety of made-from-scratch chicken salad flavors, fresh side salads, gourmet soups, signature sandwiches, and desserts. The new Colorado Springs – Briargate restaurant offers in-restaurant and outdoor patio dining, take-out, third-party delivery, and catering options.

“Colorado remains a key development state for Chicken Salad Chick, and we’re pleased to continue growing in Colorado Springs,” said Scott Deviney, president and CEO of Chicken Salad Chick. “Kirsten and Judy have been assets to our team, and their dedication to both the brand and their community doesn’t go unnoticed. We have no doubt they will continue to be successful, and look forward to celebrating with them at the grand opening.”

Giving back to the community is an important focus for the Colorado Springs – Briargate team and the Chicken Salad Chick brand, which established the CSC Foundation to support CURE Childhood Cancer and local food banks with fundraisers throughout the year. As part of pre-opening Friends & Family events in Colorado Springs, the restaurant will be raising money for the Giving to Little Hands Foundation, an organization committed to making a difference in the lives of families facing the challenges of ongoing medical care for their children with serious health conditions.

Chicken Salad Chick of Colorado Springs – Briargate will be open Monday – Saturday from 10am – 8pm. For more information, visit www.chickensaladchick.com. Follow Chicken Salad Chick on Facebook and Instagram for the latest news and trends.
