A seasoned entrepreneur, Morrison operates over 100 Taco Bell and Wingstop locations nationwide, along with 21 Chicken Salad Chick restaurants across Indiana, Oklahoma and Texas through his franchise group, Meauxmentum Strategies and Investments. Del City and Norman mark his fourth and fifth Chicken Salad Chick openings this year, following new restaurants in Pflugerville, Texas (March) and Austin, Texas (August). Morrison also holds development rights for 11 restaurants in the greater Austin area and recently expanded into Indianapolis, Indiana and Tulsa, Oklahoma. Before year’s end, he plans to open another location in Wichita, Kansas.

“I’m thrilled to bring Chicken Salad Chick to the residents of Oklahoma and Cleveland Counties this fall,” said Troy Morrison, franchise owner of Chicken Salad Chick of Del City and Norman. “Over the past year, it’s been an honor to continue growing my portfolio with such an amazing brand. This concept is one of a kind – our scratch-made food and welcoming atmosphere have really resonated with customers. I know Del City and Norman are looking forward to a local dining option like this, and I’m confident Chicken Salad Chick will soon become a favorite dining spot in these communities.”

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 restaurants offer in-restaurant dining, take-out, third-party delivery, and catering options. The Del City location will also feature a drive-thru and outdoor patio seating.

“Growing our presence in Oklahoma has been a major milestone for Chicken Salad Chick,” said Scott Deviney, CEO and president of Chicken Salad Chick. “Since joining our family, Troy has become an invaluable partner in driving our growth across four major states while continuing to strengthen our foothold in Oklahoma. Opening in Norman, near the University of Oklahoma, is especially exciting as it allows us to introduce a whole new community of students and residents to our brand. We look forward to welcoming guests to these locations very soon.”

Giving back to the community is an important focus for Morrison 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 Del City and Norman, the restaurant will be raising money for The Toby Keith Foundation, which funds the building and operation of the “OK Kids Korral,” a home-away-from-home for children battling cancer.

Chicken Salad Chick of Del City and Norman will be open Monday – Saturday from 10am – 9pm. For more information, visit www.chickensaladchick.com. Follow Chicken Salad Chick on Facebook and Instagram for the latest news and trends.
