Melissa Hardcastle now owns and
operates four of Chicken Salad Chick's eight locations in
Arkansas. In 2018, she spearheaded
the brand's entry into her home state with her first restaurant
opening in Jonesboro. Two years
later, she expanded to Conway and
then purchased the Fayetteville
location in 2022. The University of
Arkansas graduate is thrilled to bring the Chick's
made-from-scratch menu, friendly team members and focus on
community to Bentonville, growing
her business throughout her Northwest
Arkansas stomping grounds.
"The past six years with this brand have been wonderful, giving
me lots of opportunities to see faces light up over our fresh food
and the joy that comes from being served with heartfelt
hospitality," said Melissa
Hardcastle, owner of the new Chicken Salad Chick in
Bentonville. "This positive and
uplifting culture attracts the best guests and team members that
share our vision of spreading joy, enriching lives and serving
others."
Hardcastle's restaurant team in Bentonville is very excited to meet their new
neighbors and become a valued member of the community. "We focus on
building relationships with our loyal guests and getting to know
them on a first-name basis. It adds to the experience of the
delicious made-from-scratch meal they receive. This corner of
Arkansas is experiencing huge growth
but continues to have a small town, family feel, just like Chicken
Salad Chick. It's a perfect match!"
Chicken Salad Chick gives back to important causes throughout
the year, with the CSC Foundation raising money for local food
banks and CURE Childhood Cancer. With the Bentonville opening, the local team will be
supporting Hope Cancer Resources as part of their pre-opening
Friends & Family events. The mission of Hope Cancer Resources
is to provide compassionate, professional cancer support and
education in the Northwest
Arkansas region.
