Chicken Salad Shoppe

"Ghost kitchen restaurant Chicken Salad Shoppe has opened a new permanent location with dine-in space as of July 26. The relocated restaurant is found within the Furniture Mall of Texas at 12901 North I-35, Building 3, Suite 300 in the Parmer Center. The menu remains the same: the signature chicken salad, as well as chicken salad sandwiches and wraps (a fried chicken, a Buffalo bleu cheese, etc.), other chicken salad versions (bacon-lettuce-avocado-tomato, chipotle, apricot, etc.), and half-pound stuffed cookies, as well as vegetarian items. The new location allows the restaurant to expand with coffee drinks such as cappuccinos, lattes, and drinks that make use of the furniture store’s (apparent) custard. Orders for pickups and deliveries can still be placed online, as well as in-person now. And now there are indoor and patio seating for people who want to eat and drink on the premises. There is a direct entrance into the cafe, plus an entrance inside the furniture store." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Take, for example, Austin’s Chicken Salad Shoppe. When COVID-19 restrictions forced Vanilla Orchid catering to temporarily close last year, co-owners Molly and Ivan Mills decided to use their existing kitchen like a ghost kitchen through which to sell their chicken salads for pickups and deliveries instead." - Sarah Engstrand
