While this is the first Chicken Salad Chick in Washington’s Northern Virginia suburbs, it’s the seventh overall in the state with locations already established in Christiansburg, Hampton, Mechanicsville, Richmond, Norfolk and Roanoke. Teaming up with her father, Patrick Cavanaugh, and father-in-law, Barry Chamberlin, Oakton-born Devon Chamberlin of Nova Group, LLC is thrilled to be the one to introduce the brand to her hometown area. Over the next five years, she is looking to expand into nearby communities such as Arlington, Vienna, McLean, Springfield, Reston and more. She already has a site in Fairfax, which will be the next to open.
“My first Chicken Salad Chick experience happened while I was living in Tallahassee, Florida,” said Devon Chamberlin, co-owner of Chicken Salad Chick of Falls Church. “I was immediately drawn to the customer service, the freshness and quality of the food made in-house every day and the welcoming energy of the restaurant. Their chicken salad was hands-down the best in the area. After I moved back to Northern Virginia, I knew what was missing was a local Chick!”
Chamberlin spent the past 10 years in the mental health field as a social worker at residential treatment centers, inpatient hospitals and Fairfax County Emergency Services. She had been searching for a way to go into business for herself, still helping people and deepening her ties to the local community. With its mission to spread joy, enrich lives and serve others, Chicken Salad Chick is the ideal new career path she was craving.
“I’ve always dreamed of being an entrepreneur and putting my people skills to good use,” added Chamberlin. “It’s so rewarding to build up others and spotlight their strengths. This restaurant has a hometown dream team, starting with our manager from Vienna, Karen Pollard. She and the rest of our talented crew can’t wait to introduce Chicken Salad Chick’s one-of-a-kind hospitality right here in our backyard.”
Giving back to the community is an important focus for the Falls Church 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 Falls Church, the restaurant will be raising money for Inova Fairfax Children’s Hospital. Chamberlin had an office on the oncology floor of the hospital for a year during the pandemic, so it is a cause close to her heart.
The Falls Church Chicken Salad Chick will be open Monday – Saturday from 10:30 a.m. – 8 p.m. For more information, visit www.chickensaladchick.com. Follow Chicken Salad Chick on Facebook and Instagram for the latest news and trends.
