Chicken Salad Chick of Austin – Hancock is owned by Troy Morrison, one of the largest franchisees in the brand's system. A seasoned entrepreneur, Morrison runs over 100 Taco Bell and Wingstop locations nationwide, along with 16 Chicken Salad Chick restaurants across Indiana, Oklahoma and Texas. This location marks the brand's second in the Austin area – and the first within the city itself – following the Pflugerville opening in March. Operating under his franchise group, Meauxmentum Strategies and Investments, Morrison recently secured the rights to open 11 Chicken Salad Chick locations across the greater Austin area, which includes Austin – Hancock and Pflugerville. Earlier this year, he also acquired operating locations and development rights in Indianapolis, IN, and Tulsa, OK, expanding upon his existing presence in Oklahoma City. Morrison also plans to open two new restaurants in the greater Oklahoma City area, along with a new location in Wichita, KS before the end of the year.
"I'm thrilled to be opening the first Chicken Salad Chick in the heart of Austin and to continue growing with such an amazing brand," said Troy Morrison, franchise owner of Chicken Salad Chick of Austin. "Having spent most of my career in the restaurant industry, I truly believe this concept is special. With its loyal fan base, made-from-scratch food, and operational efficiencies, investing in Chicken Salad Chick seemed like a no-brainer. There's a clear appetite for fresh, flavorful dining in Austin, and I'm confident residents will love what we're offering."
Chicken Salad Chick is known for its dozen-plus variety of made-from-scratch chicken salad flavors, fresh side salads, gourmet soups, signature sandwiches, and desserts. The new Austin restaurant offers in-restaurant dining, take-out, third-party delivery, and catering options.
"Expanding our footprint in the great state of Texas is a major milestone for Chicken Salad Chick, and it's even more meaningful to do so alongside such a wonderful franchise partner," said Scott Deviney, CEO and president of Chicken Salad Chick. "Troy has incredible business insight and a genuine passion for hospitality. Since joining our network, he's played a major role in our growth, and we're excited to see how he and his team continue to build our presence in the Austin market."
Giving back to the community is an important focus for the Austin 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 Austin, the restaurant will be raising money for B.I.G. Love Cancer Care, a non-profit organization providing physical, emotional, and financial support to families experiencing childhood cancer in Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.
Chicken Salad Chick of Austin will be open Monday – Saturday from 10am – 9pm. For more information, visit www.chickensaladchick.com. Follow Chicken Salad Chick on Facebook and Instagram for the latest news and trends.

1 Green Flag for Fluor Stock Right Now
Key Points Fluor's second-quarter report arrived at the beginning of this month with big sales and earnings misses. While macroeconomic uncertainty weighs on the company's momentum, the business still has a big sales backlog. Fluor could continue to see volatile trading, but the company's backlog and exposure to AI infrastructure power trends suggest the stock could have big upside. 10 stocks we like better than Fluor › Fluor (NYSE: FLR) published its second-quarter results at the beginning of August, and performance for the period came in significantly below the average Wall Street analyst estimate. The engineering and construction specialist posted non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings per share of $0.43 on revenue of $3.98 billion in the period, falling short of the consensus target's call for per-share earnings of $0.56 on sales of roughly $4.7 billion. Revenue unexpectedly fell 6% year over year in the period. Fluor stock saw a big sell-off in conjunction with the weaker-than-expected Q2 print, and its share price is down roughly 23.5% across August's trading as of this writing. While Fluor has seen a huge valuation pullback this month, there's also a positive sign for the company. There's one big green flag for Fluor stock at current pricing levels Fluor's Q2 report arrived with some disappointing results, but some dynamics suggest that the stock could rebound well above current levels following the big pullback. Fluor notched $1.8 billion in new bookings in the second quarter, with 72% of those bookings being reimbursable. Meanwhile, the company's total bookings backlog stood at $28.2 billion, with 80% of that figure being reimbursable. Even though total bookings saw a drawdown from the $28.7 billion level at the end of the previous quarter, there are still clear indications that large, previously contracted deals are being converted into sales. Macroeconomic uncertainty has presented a significant performance headwind for Fluor, but the business's sizable backlog suggests that the business is attractively valued with a market capitalization of roughly $7 billion. Fluor's majority ownership position in NuScale Power gives it significant exposure to the rise of nuclear power being used to power artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, and the relatively high degree of visibility on the company's forward sales outlook suggests that the stock could have a favorable risk-reward dynamic at current levels.

Congressman Morgan Luttrell Tours Hertha Metals' Texas Plant Driving U.S. Steel and Iron Independence
CONROE, Texas, August 14, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On August 11th, CEO Laureen Meroueh and Hertha Metals – a domestic steel and high-purity iron producing company based out of Conroe – hosted Congressman Morgan Luttrell for a tour of Hertha Metals' plant. During the tour, Congressman Luttrell saw Hertha's one-step furnace in action: turning low-grade domestic ore and millscale into high-purity iron for rare earth magnets used in defense, energy, and electronics. The visit also spotlighted Hertha's upcoming 9,000-tonne-per-year plant, set to bring 550 jobs and strengthen America's industrial security. "It was an honor to welcome Congressman Morgan Luttrell to our Conroe plant," said Laureen Meroueh, CEO of Hertha Metals. "By producing high-purity iron domestically, we're reducing America's reliance on foreign supply chains for materials critical to defense, energy, and advanced manufacturing – all while creating more than 550 jobs and making Conroe a cornerstone of America's industrial future." "The United States is the world's largest steel importer yet has no domestic source of high-purity iron. China exports over 90 percent of the high-purity iron in rare earth magnets – a reliance that poses a direct threat to America's industrial and national security," said Congressman Morgan Luttrell (R-TX). "Hertha Metals is changing that and meeting the moment by creating a 9,000 tonne per year plant in Conroe with enough capacity to meet the country's demand in the rare earth magnet market. I'm proud that this new high purity iron production plant will generate over 500 jobs in my district." More Background: Hertha Metals is revitalizing American-made high-purity iron and steel manufacturing through innovation. By leveraging abundant U.S. natural gas and domestic iron ore, Hertha developed a next-generation steelmaking process that delivers high-purity iron, as well as high performance steel, using our country's abundant resources. By 2030, Hertha Metals will scale steel production to 500,000 tonnes annually, a commercial steel micro mill. To learn more, visit View source version on Contacts media@
