The Naperville Chick will be a mother–daughter-run restaurant, with Karen's two daughters playing key roles in the business. Her oldest daughter will assist with business and financial operations, while her youngest will manage the restaurant's social media presence and marketing efforts.

"Opening my very first Chicken Salad Chick in Naperville is the perfect next chapter for me," said Karen White, franchise owner of Chicken Salad Chick of Naperville. "I fell in love with the brand the first time I visited the Batavia location — from the food to the hospitality, everything just felt right. Naperville is such a family-oriented and community-minded city, and I'm thrilled to introduce our fresh, made-from-scratch menu and share Chicken Salad Chick's signature warmth and generosity with our local community."

Chicken Salad Chick is known for its dozen-plus variety of made-from-scratch chicken salad flavors, fresh side salads, gourmet soups, signature sandwiches, and desserts. The new Naperville restaurant offers in-restaurant dining, take-out, third-party delivery, and catering options.

"Chicagoland continues to be an important market for Chicken Salad Chick, and we're proud to open our second location in this vibrant region," said Scott Deviney, president and CEO of Chicken Salad Chick. "As our sixth restaurant in Illinois, this opening reflects our continued commitment to expand across the Midwest. With Karen White leading our Naperville team, we look forward to introducing our signature chicken salads, sandwiches, and warm hospitality to the Naperville community and can't wait for guests to experience what makes our brand so special."

Giving back to the community is an important focus for the Naperville 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 Naperville, the restaurant will be raising money for the Bike Bald group, a non-profit committed to enriching the lives of children affected by cancer and rare illnesses.
