Chicken Salad Chick of Midland is owned and operated by mother-daughter duo, Liz Sevcik and Alexis Thompson. With over 30 years of combined experience in nursing and education, Sevcik has worked as a nurse, while both she and Thompson have taught fourth grade. Thompson, now in her eighth year of teaching, plans to continue doing so for a few more years before fully working at the restaurant. Both women are very involved in the local community and believe their strong ties will contribute to the success of their business. They found their favorite aspects of their previous careers – building relationships with patients and students – has been incredibly rewarding and believe that experience will prove invaluable as they work to establish trust and respect within the Midland community.

“We decided to become Chicken Salad Chick franchise owners not only because of the food, but because of what the brand represents,” said Alexis Thompson, co-franchise owner of Chicken Salad Chick of Midland. “My mom and I were truly inspired by the story of the founder, Stacy Brown, and the brand’s mission to ‘Spread Joy, Enrich Lives, and Serve Others.’ It aligns perfectly with our family’s values. The more we learned about Chicken Salad Chick’s history, the more certain we became that we wanted to join the family. Midland is in need of fresh, healthy dining options, so we’re excited to bring those to our community very soon.”

The pair have a longtime admiration for Chicken Salad Chick, as they’ve dined at multiple locations over the years, each consistent in taste and quality. Sevcik recognized something special in Chicken Salad Chick and felt drawn to open a location of her own. After discussing and researching the brand, the pair found Chicken Salad Chick’s mission deeply resonated with them. Combined with the brand’s delicious chicken salad flavors and warm, welcoming atmosphere, they knew this was the perfect investment for them. They are excited to embark on this journey as a family, with Sevcik’s son and Thompson’s younger brother, Luke Sevick, serving as the restaurant’s general manager. Midland is the first of three planned locations, with two in Odessa and San Angelo opening down the line.

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 Midland restaurant offers in-restaurant and outdoor patio dining, take-out, curbside pickup, third-party delivery, and catering options.

“We’re excited to bring Chicken Salad Chick’s delicious flavors to residents of Midland County,” said Scott Deviney, president and CEO of Chicken Salad Chick. “Midland is a rapidly growing, health-conscious community, and we’re excited to become a part of it. We believe Chicken Salad Chick has a lot to offer to the community and that there are incredible catering opportunities there. We look forward to working with more franchise owners like Alexis and Liz who embody our values and want to share our delicious menu items with their community. We can't wait to see both new and familiar faces at our grand opening this October!”

Giving back to the community is an important focus for the Midland 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 Midland, the restaurant will be raising money for Gifts of Hope, an organization dedicated to offering HOPE to the heart, soul, mind and body of cancer patients and their families. Donations help the organization to provide patients with a home away from home through lodging, financial assistance, and support groups.
