From a city steeped in culinary memory and riverfront dusk, the entrance of Chicken Salad Chick into New Orleans reads as a careful invitation. The four-unit pact positions a brand with a southern cadence to navigate a city where hospitality is a language spoken as readily as legend. The first location is slated to open in 2025, with three additional sites in development, and the narrative begins at the Lakeside corridor in Metairie where neighbors and visitors converge. It is a moment that feels more like a promise to a city than a mere announcement: a promise to savor familiar comfort while inviting new opportunity.
Behind the quartet of partners sits NHG LLC, a franchise ownership holding company, with Bill DiPaola at the helm and a seat on the International Franchise Association’s Legislative Action Group. Anne DiPaola brings more than two decades in communications, public relations, recruitment, and development. Tiffany Spring contributes 21 years in healthcare administration, while Paul Spring is a practicing surgeon. Their varied professional backgrounds are intended to shape local operations with a focus on hospitality, community impact, and sustainable business practices. “I’ve been a fan of Chicken Salad Chick going all the way back to high school when I ate there every day for four years. My love of their food, along with the straight-forward menu and dedication toward community service are what sold me on getting involved with this brand.” The quartet embodies a philosophy that values service, culture, and local engagement as much as the menu itself.
