Welcoming Chicken Salad Chick to Derby: A Fresh Addition to Our Growing Community

Opening June 30, 2026, at 2600 N. Rock Road, Chicken Salad Chick brings a fresh fast-casual dining experience to Derby with dine-in, drive-thru, delivery, and catering options for residents, families, schools, churches, local businesses, and community organizations.

The new Derby restaurant builds on the success of Chicken Salad Chick’s Wichita-area growth and reflects the continued momentum of national brands investing in Derby. More than a new place to eat, Chicken Salad Chick offers a welcoming space rooted in quality food, gracious hospitality, and community connection.

A Brand Built on Quality and Hospitality 

Chicken Salad Chick is known for its made-from-scratch, Southern-style chicken salad, prepared fresh daily and served with genuine hospitality. The heart of the menu is chicken salad, with a variety of flavors ranging from classic and savory to fruity, nutty, and spicy.

Fan Favorites, Fresh Sides, and Sweet Treats 

Guests can choose from fan-favorite flavors such as Classic Carol, the signature traditional recipe; Olivia’s Old South, made with eggs and pickles for a nostalgic Southern flavor; Sassy Scotty, featuring ranch, bacon, and cheddar; Jalapeño Holly, a bold and spicy option; and Buffalo Barclay, offering a tangy hot-wing-inspired kick. Seasonal and specialty flavors also bring variety to the menu throughout the year. 

Beyond chicken salad, the menu includes fresh side dishes such as broccoli salad, grape salad, pasta salad, fresh fruit, soups, and chips. Guests can also enjoy pimento cheese options, signature sandwiches, Quick Chicks for easy take-home meals, and sweet treats including cookies, white chocolate cake, and red velvet cake.

Catering for Every Occasion

Chicken Salad Chick’s catering makes it easy to serve fresh, flavorful meals for groups of all sizes. From school lunches and teacher appreciation events to church gatherings, community fundraisers, office luncheons, business meetings, weddings, and large-scale corporate events, the catering menu is designed to be flexible, convenient, and crowd-pleasing.

Catering options include boxed lunches, mini croissant sandwich platters, assorted sandwich platters, chicken salad bowls, pimento cheese trays, fresh fruit platters, sides, desserts, and beverages. Whether guests need individually packaged meals for a school or office setting or a shareable spread for a church event or corporate gathering, Chicken Salad Chick offers options that fit a wide range of occasions. 

Celebrating a Grand Opening

Ahead of the official grand opening, Chicken Salad Chick will host a Friends and Family event on June 29, 2026, offering invited guests an early opportunity to experience the restaurant, sample the menu, and help celebrate the brand’s arrival in Derby. All proceeds from the Friends and Family event will be awarded to the Love, Chloe Foundation.

You are invited to celebrate the official arrival of Chicken Salad Chick with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 30, 2026, from 9:00–11:00 AM, marking an exciting milestone for both the brand and the Derby business community. At the opening of the Derby location, the first 100 people in line will receive free chicken salad for a year.

Grand opening celebrations like this highlight what makes Derby special—a place where businesses are not only welcomed but supported and celebrated.

Chicken Salad Chick’s presence goes beyond great food. The brand is known for fostering community engagement through catering services, local partnerships, fundraising events, and involvement with schools, nonprofits, churches, and community organizations.

Locally, the Derby-area stores have teamed up with the Love, Chloe Foundation, with all proceeds from the Friends and Family event going directly to the organization. The brand’s commitment to spreading joy, enriching lives, and serving others aligns closely with the Derby Chamber’s mission to strengthen connections between businesses and the community they serve.
