A proud family-run business since 1929, Royal's O.K. Lunch, Inc. spans two generations and has a deep-rooted commitment to quality and hospitality.

"Our experience with our other four Chicken Salad Chick locations has been incredibly rewarding, so we knew this was the perfect brand to continue growing with," said Bryan Royal, franchise owner of Chicken Salad Chick of Westlake. "Chicken Salad Chick's core values – spreading joy, enriching lives, and serving others – align perfectly with those of our family business, and we're really excited to bring that energy to the Westlake community. With the added convenience of a drive-thru, we can't wait to share Chicken Salad Chick's signature flavors and Southern hospitality with our new friends and neighbors soon."

"We're proud to continue expanding Chicken Salad Chick's footprint in Florida with an awesome franchise partner like Bryan Royal," said Scott Deviney, president and CEO of Chicken Salad Chick. "Westlake is a vibrant and fast-growing community that perfectly reflects the welcoming, family-oriented spirit of our brand. We're confident that Bryan's experience and genuine passion for Chicken Salad Chick will quickly make the Westlake restaurant a local favorite. We look forward to watching him continue to grow the brand and introduce more communities across Florida to the Chicken Salad Chick experience."

Giving back to the community is an important focus for the Westlake 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.
