Covington will later this year welcome a new Chicken Salad Chick restaurant. The popular chicken salad eatery has signed on to open at Jackson Market, a new strip center coming to 4115 Highway 278 in Covington in Newton County.
Chicken Salad Chick, established in Auburn, Alabama but today based in Atlanta, has steadily been expanding its presence in the greater metro Atlanta area, having opened a new location at Liberty Village in Braselton March 4. In addition to Braselton and Covington, the company also plans to open a new eatery in Jasper where it will join the upcoming Publix-anchored Gateway Crossing - Jasper shopping center.
ToNeTo Atlanta recently spoke to Chicken Salad Chick Vice President of Marketing Tom Carr who said that the Tucker area remains of interest for the company where readers of this site have been especially vocal over the years in favor of the chain opening.
Plans call for the new Chicken Salad Chick to debut in September at which point the restaurant is expected to offer its famous "First 100-style" promotion awarding free chicken salad for a year to the first 100 people in line on opening day.

Georgia, with 43 Chicken Salad Chick restaurants open, is now, and will remain for the foreseeable future, the company's largest market by store count. Overall, the chain has 297 locations across twenty-one states. The company opened their first restaurant in Maryland this past February with plans to open in Kansas, their twenty-second state, later this year. The chain expects to hit the 300 unit count mark early this spring.

Hopefully they all close quickly. We don’t need anything else in the metro Atlanta area.
Maybe your area doesn't need it but Covington definitely does, Covington has been underdeveloped for the population of Newton county for years and the developers have finally decided to come our way
Nope, Covington has enough stuff. Best to go to Krogers and cook chicken at home
Wish one would come to Tucker as mentioned in the article. Love the Alpharetta location!! Stop there whenever I'm in the area.
Can’t wait till they open in Covington!! We are so looking forward to it!!!
Chicken Salad Chick is awful. The most bland chicken salad you can possibly get, regardless of which flavor you choose.
I like boiled chicken with no seasoning, mixed with Miracle Whip served on Wonder bread. Plain!
Love Chicken Salad Chick! Covington will be the closest to us but would oh so love for them to come to Madison, GA!!
I don't "get" Chicken Salad Chick. It is terrible. It's prob a better fit for way outside the Perimeter.
You go to Kroger and buy all the chicken you want. The rest of us will glady support CSC when they open. Remember, you only speak for yourself as far as wanting things to stay the same in Covington. We lose way to many sales tax dollars to neighboring counties for your thought process to be accurate.
