Chicken Salad Chick of Thibodaux is owned by Chad and Amanda Ducote. Their journey with the brand began unexpectedly during a visit to their daughter Grace's doctor in Lafayette. After stopping by Chicken Salad Chick for lunch and trying the Dixie Chick and Fancy Nancy varieties, they fell in love with the flavors and welcoming atmosphere. These visits soon became a regular family tradition. With Chad's long-standing passion for cooking and the restaurant industry, owning a Chicken Salad Chick restaurant felt like a natural next step.
"Giving back and staying engaged with our community means everything to Amanda and me," said Chad Ducote, co-franchise owner of Chicken Salad Chick of Thibodaux. "Our commitment to this community runs deep, as we both serve as pastors and manage a small portfolio of rental properties in our spare time. After Hurricane Ida, we were more determined than ever to make our small businesses thrive and wanted to offer something in town. When Amanda and Grace discovered Chicken Salad Chick, it felt like fate. The franchise's core values of 'Spread Joy, Enrich Lives, and Serve Others' align perfectly with our own beliefs, which made it the ideal choice for us. Thibodaux is a growing, health-conscious community, and we're thrilled to offer more healthy dining options to our fellow residents soon."
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 Thibodaux restaurant offers in-restaurant and outdoor patio dining, drive-thru, take-out, curbside pickup, third-party delivery, and catering options.
"We're thrilled to continue expanding Chicken Salad Chick's footprint in Louisiana, and we're eager to bring our delicious menu to communities across the state," said Scott Deviney, president and CEO of Chicken Salad Chick. "Chad and Amanda are the ideal franchise owners to help us grow our brand, as we're confident they will embody our values and share them with their community. We're thankful they were able to keep their grand opening on track following the most recent storm, and we know Chicken Salad Chick will become part of unique fabric of Thibodaux and Lafourche Parish."
Giving back to the community is an important focus for the Thibodaux 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 Thibodaux, the restaurant will be raising money for MacDonell Children's Services, a residential home for children whose circumstances leave them in need of a safe, loving and nurturing environment. Donations help fund the organization's services, such as hiring staff, maintaining facilities, and improving services for children.
Chicken Salad Chick of Thibodaux will be open Monday – Saturday from 10:30am – 8pm. For more information, visit www.chickensaladchick.com. Follow Chicken Salad Chick on Facebook and Instagram for the latest news and trends.
