Chicken Salad Chick of Collegeville is owned and operated by business partners Amanda Furiato, Ryan Metz, and Drew Christy. Drew and Amanda are siblings, and Ryan and Amanda are married. Together, the trio formed CSCP Collegeville LLC to bring to the Chicken Salad Chick dining experience to their hometown. Amanda has spent the past nine years working in franchise development, serving in the United States Air Force and working in human resources 10 years prior to that. She was also recognized as "Franchisee of the Year" with her other business, AFC Urgent Care, which she and Ryan own together. Ryan served as Deputy General Counsel at West Pharmaceutical Services, while Drew's background is in leadership development and sales coaching, with an additional 15 years of restaurant and specialty retail under his belt.

"Ryan, Drew and I are beyond thrilled to open the second Chicken Salad Chick in Pennsylvania and bring the franchise to Montgomery County," said Amanda Furiato, co-owner of Chicken Salad Chick of Collegeville. "When we started researching potential franchise opportunities in 2025, we loved the idea of bringing such a unique restaurant up north. We visited five restaurants nationwide and were impressed by the consistent quality and guest experiences at each, which led to our decision to invest. There's truly nothing like Chicken Salad Chick, and we believe the brand's Southern hospitality will be a welcome addition here in Collegeville."

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

"Back in August, Chicken Salad Chick opened its first Pennsylvania restaurant in Allentown, and by year's end, we'll have two locations operating in the state," said Scott Deviney, CEO and president of Chicken Salad Chick. "Pennsylvania remains a key growth market for us, and we couldn't be prouder of the momentum we're building here. It's a privilege to partner with franchise owners like Amanda, Ryan and Drew, who have a genuine passion for serving their community and relevant franchise experience. We look forward to welcoming guests across the state."

Giving back to the community is an important focus for the Collegeville 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 Collegeville, the restaurant will be raising money for Sharing Excess, a national nonprofit food-rescue organization combatting food waste and food insecurity.

Chicken Salad Chick of Collegeville will be open seven days a week, from 10:30am – 8:30pm. For more information on giveaways and specials, visit the Collegeville restaurant's Facebook.
