The Dayton region’s first Chicken Salad Chick is striving to open in mid-December at Cornerstone of Centerville.

“We’ve seen strong community support and enthusiastic adoption of our brand in Ohio, and we’re excited to continue our expansion in the state,” said marketing manager Hannah Verdun. “We believe Dayton’s vibrant community will enjoy our wide variety of delicious chicken salad options, and we look forward to becoming a part of this growing area.”

Oberer Realty Services and Centerville City Council broke ground Monday, May 6, 2024, on the 10,000-square-foot Shoppes at Cornerstone IV, the final building at mixed-use project Cornerstone of Centerville North. The building will be home to restaurants Chicken Salad Chick and Mi Cozumel. CONTRIBUTED

The restaurant will occupy 2,800-square-feet of the mixed-used development’s newest building at 5264 Cornerstone North Blvd. The 10,000-square-foot space described as the “Shoppes at Cornerstone IV” is the final retail building being developed on the property.

This news comes a year after the Southern-inspired, fast-casual chicken salad restaurant, started bringing its products to Dayton. The company’s Mason restaurant, located at 6209 Snider Road in the Snider Commons shopping center, hosted a series of pop-up, delivery events.

Chicken Salad Chick has more than a dozen flavors of chicken salad made fresh from scratch daily. Customers can get anything from traditional, savory or spicy chicken salad to fruity or nutty chicken salad. Th most popular is the Classic Carol featuring all white meat shredded chicken, finely minced celery, mayonnaise and the brand’s secret seasoning.

The restaurant also has fresh sides, soups, salads and desserts, including a white chocolate layer cake.

Chicken Salad Chick will join Mi Cozumel in the Shoppes at Cornerstone IV. Danielle Kuehnle, senior vice president of sales and leasing at Oberer Realty Services, confirmed the Mexican restaurant has signed a lease and said they anticipate them to start construction in 2025.

Chicken Salad Chick will be open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The grand opening will include free chicken salad for a year to the first 100 guests and a week full of giveaways.

The Centerville restaurant believes in giving back to its community. During a friends and family invite-only event, the restaurant will collect donations for the Dayton Foodbank. A check will be presented to the foodbank on the morning of the restaurant’s grand opening.
