Third Chicken Salad Chick Coming to the Piedmont Triad with Kernersville, North Carolina, Opening

Chicken Salad Chick announced today it is opening in Kernersville at 736 South Main Street in the Main Street Market shopping center. Featuring outdoor patio seating and a large kitchen to fulfill catering orders, Chicken Salad Chick of Kernersville is the third in North Carolina for Paul and Michael Umphenour of Piedmont Restaurant Group, Inc., who also owns the High Point and Clemmons locations.

Paul and Michael Umphenour and the Piedmont Restaurant Group team opened their first Chicken Salad Chick in High Point in 2020, followed by Clemmons in 2022. A Greensboro native, Michael Umphenour has over two decades of industry experience operating restaurants. He quickly recognized Chicken Salad Chick's unbeatable combination of delicious food made from scratch every day in the restaurant and an emphasis on spreading joy and enriching lives within the communities it serves. He plans to keep expanding with the brand, opening in Asheboro later this year.

"Our inspiration for bringing more Chicken Salad Chick restaurants to the Triad is rooted in a passion for food, a desire to create a unique dining experience, and a love for bringing people together through culinary enjoyment," said Michael Umphenour. "The Kernersville community possesses abundant potential for expansion, boasting a blend of historical richness and tradition while embracing innovative ideas, spirited energy, and a strong sense of civic pride."

The Piedmont Restaurant Group team has partnered with local police departments at its other North Carolina locations and will be supporting the Kernersville Police Department as part of their pre-opening Friends & Family events in Kernersville.  Umphenour looks forward to strengthening connections with the local community and developing a close relationship with the men and women in blue who serve Kernersville.

Chicken Salad Chick Kernersville will be open Monday – Saturday from 11 a.m. – 8 p.m.
