Chicken Salad Chick is circling a May debut for its new Boerne outpost, planting its flag in Boerne Town Center near the westbound I-10 frontage road and Christus Parkway. Franchise owner Janice Morfin says the restaurant will look and feel like the chain’s other Texas spots, with scoopable chicken salads, sides and a drive-thru all on the menu. There is still no firm opening day on the calendar, but permitting and tenant build-outs are now moving ahead.
Morfin told Community Impact that “the goal is to open in May,” adding that she already operates Chicken Salad Chick locations in North San Antonio, Kyle and New Braunfels. She stopped short of naming an exact date, saying the schedule will depend on when construction wraps and inspections clear. When it does open, the restaurant will join a growing cast of national chains lined up for the Hill Country shopping center.
Permits And Project Details
According to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, a project record filed October 30, 2024, lists Chicken Salad Chick at Lot 4A-2 in Boerne Town Center. The filing describes an interior finish-out for a 2,800 square foot space that includes a drive-thru. It also lays out estimated construction dates, projected costs used for permitting, and the owner and tenant contacts tied to the build. For now, those state documents are the clearest public sign of exactly where the chain is staking its claim.
Boerne Town Center Takes Shape
Boerne officials released individual tenant permits for Boerne Town Center earlier this year, opening the door for visible build-outs by Sprouts, Panda Express, Chipotle and others, The Boerne Life reports. With municipal approvals in place, developers say tenants can now move on interior work at their own pace. The plan is straightforward, a grocery anchor paired with a cluster of quick-service restaurants that can keep steady traffic flowing through the new retail strip.
What To Expect On The Menu
Chicken Salad Chick centers its concept on a rotating lineup of scoopable chicken salads and sides, with flavors that run from the straightforward Classic to the kicked-up Jalapeño Holly, plus sandwiches and desserts, according to the chain’s Chicken Salad Chick website. The Boerne restaurant is expected to follow the brand’s usual setup, offering dine-in service, carryout and a drive-thru lane. In other Texas markets, new locations have rolled out with week-of promotions or giveaways, so Boerne residents may see similar fanfare once an opening date is locked in.
Opening Outlook
For now, May is the goal, not a guarantee. Final timing still hangs on contractor schedules and passing inspections. Reporting from Community Impact along with the state project record provide the most detailed public timeline available, and Morfin remains the local franchise point person for updates. Expect either a formal grand opening announcement or a city inspection sign-off to signal when Boerne’s chicken salad faithful can finally line up at the drive-thru.
