Ones To Watch: Chicken Salad Chick

At Chicken Salad Chick, ordering a chicken salad sandwich for lunch isn’t as simple as it sounds. The Alabama-based fast-casual concept offers 15 varieties, which explains how chicken salad accounts for 96 percent of the chain’s sales. The ham, turkey, roast beef, and Pimiento cheese deli sandwiches are reserved for the rare Southerner who’s not a fan of the chicken-and-mayonnaise concoction.
