Chicken Salad Chick in East Peoria
Posted: Mon Dec 11, 2023 5:30 pm
A new, fast-casual restaurant that specializes in chicken salad is to have its grand opening Tuesday in East Peoria.
The life story and accomplishments of the restaurant franchisee aren’t exactly chopped liver.
Chicken Salad Chick is to be located at 412 W. Washington St., in the East Peoria Levee District. The 12-year-old, Alabama-based chain specializes in 15 varieties of chicken salad, egg salad and pimento cheese. Soups, salads and sandwiches also are featured.
“You’re not frying the chicken. You’re steaming it, shredding it,” said Yonas Hagos, who owns the local Chicken Salad Chick franchise. “It’s a simple concept.”
Hagos resides in Yorkville but is no stranger to central Illinois. He owns Dunkin’ outlets in Canton, East Peoria, Macomb, Pekin and Washington, among other places.
