The local community is invited to celebrate this grand opening on Wednesday, June 18, where the first 100 guests in line will win free chicken salad for a year*. During the grand opening week, guests can expect to experience the Southern hospitality that Chicken Salad Chick is known for, as well as a community focused mindset with various specials and giveaways. These include: Wednesday, June 18 – Free Chicken Salad for a Year to the First 100 Guests – The first guest in line at 10:30am will receive one FREE large Quick Chick of chicken salad per week for an entire year. The next 99 guests in line will receive one FREE large Quick Chick of chicken salad per month for a year!* Thursday, June 19 – The first 50 guests to purchase a Chick Trio will receive a FREE 40oz Chick tumbler with lid and straw!** Friday, June 20 – The first 50 guests to purchase a Chick Trio will receive a FREE Chicken Salad Chick canvas tote bag!** Saturday, June 21 – The first 50 guests to purchase a Chick Trio will receive a FREE 16oz Chicken Salad Chick tumbler!** Chicken Salad Chick of Smithfield is owned and operated by first-time franchise owners and husband-and-wife duo, Heather and Clay Harmon. Both North Carolina natives, Heather grew up in Fayetteville and Clay in Whitakers. The couple currently resides in Raleigh and spends many of their free weekends at their beach house in Surf City, deepening their ties to the region. Before becoming franchise owners, Heather was a cardiac critical care nurse and now serves as Territory Business Manager for Elutia, a medical company providing porcine-derived cardiac products across North Carolina and Virginia. She continues to work full-time while Clay oversees the restaurant's day-to-day operations. To fully dedicate himself to this new endeavor, Clay recently dissolved his commercial clearing business, Harmon Land Solutions. Together, the Harmons bring a wealth of small business experience and a shared commitment to providing outstanding customer service. They also hope by building this small business legacy, their young daughters will want to be involved in the family business once they get older. "Clay and I are incredibly excited to bring Chicken Salad Chick to Smithfield," said Heather Harmon, co-franchise owner, Chicken Salad Chick of Smithfield. "We first discovered the brand in Wilmington and have been hooked ever since. We instantly fell in love with the inviting atmosphere, and after spending two hours chatting with Haley, the franchise owner, we were sold on the idea of opening our own. Plus, the flavors are amazing – our favorites are Olivia's Old South and Dixie Chick because they remind us of our grandmothers' homemade recipes. That's what this experience has all been about – creating a welcoming, homemade experience for guests who want convenient, healthier dining options. The support from the community has already been incredible, and we know they're just as excited as we are for opening day. We can't wait to welcome everyone in!" 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 Smithfield restaurant offers in-restaurant and outdoor patio dining, drive-thru, take-out, third-party delivery, and catering options. "We're thrilled to see Chicken Salad Chick continuing to expand in North Carolina," said Scott Deviney, president and CEO of Chicken Salad Chick. "Smithfield has experienced significant growth in recent years, with Johnston County ranking among the fastest-growing counties in the state. Despite this momentum, the area still lacks a variety of dining options. We knew Heather and Clay's passion and determination could help fill that gap. The Harmons truly embody our mission to 'Spread Joy, Enrich Lives, and Serve Others,' and we're confident Chicken Salad Chick will quickly become a beloved part of the Smithfield community." Giving back to the community is an important focus for the Smithfield 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 Smithfield, the restaurant will be raising money for the UNC Johnston Health Foundation's Angel Fund, which supports cancer patients by providing financial assistance to buy medications, gas for transportation to medical appointments, wigs, prosthetic devices, and more. This cause is especially meaningful to the Harmons, as Heather's mother has been battling a diagnosis of stage four colon cancer for five years. Chicken Salad Chick of Smithfield will be open Monday – Saturday from 10:30am – 8pm. For more information, visit Follow Chicken Salad Chick on Facebook and Instagram for the latest news and trends.

Shoppers devastated as Tesco axes popular snack from stores
Has your favourite product vanished from shelves? We'd love to hear from you - email us on money@ OUT OF STOCK Shoppers devastated as Tesco axes popular snack from stores TESCO has axed a popular product, leaving customers devastated. Its store brand southern fried chicken instant flavour noodles has now permanently disappeared from supermarket shelves. 1 Tesco shoppers were wondering where the popular snack had gone Credit: REDDIT The snack, which can be made with boiling water, was a fan favourite with shoppers. It cost around 50p and was available in store and online. Confused customers have taken to social media to find out where the popular snack had gone. Writing in a Reddit thread one shopper said: "These are my go to quick food and my local Tesco has none on the shelf and they've disappeared off of the website too. "I'll be gutted if they've discontinued them." Another fan replied: "Probably, if you liked them, these stores always stop what people like! The Sun reached out to Tesco to find out what happened to the savoury snack The supermarket confirmed the product was no more, adding that it had been replaced with a Chicken flavour that customers could buy. The news will come as a blow to customers who in the past said it was the only noodles they "enjoy" to eat. Some customers said Super Noodles make a similar product for a quid, but the upset shopper said they were too dear. I'm 5'3 and a size 10 - Tesco is killing it with their summer co-ords, my haul was amazing & I got 25% off everything too Another said Pot Noodles lost the pot chicken champion, could be an alternative and also costs 50p. It's not the first time that Tesco has axed a popular product. Shoppers were heartbroken when Tesco cut its own-brand tomato and basil soup from its chilled range. Tesco stated that it adjusts its soup range throughout the year to reflect seasonal demand. The supermarket will expand its offering again in the autumn. Tesco shoppers were also shocked to find the supermarket no longer stocks six-pint cartons of milk. OTHER DISCONTINUED PRODUCTS Tesco is not the only supermarket that has shaken up what it sells in stores. Asda also recently confirmed it has discontinued its store-brand Creamy Peppercorn Sauce. The Sun revealed that Alpen cereal bars have permanently disappeared from supermarket shelves. The snack, usually topped with chocolate or yogurt, has been a staple in many Brits kitchen cupboards since the early noughties. Alpen bars were also loved by many watching what they eat or following a Slimming World or Weight Watchers diet plan, as the treat was low in calories. Alpen's entire cereal bar range, which includes Alpen Light and Alpen Delight has been discontinued. However shoppers can continue to buy it's range of muesli, which costs around £3 from major supermarkets. Kellogg's also recently confirmed it's not bringing back its chocolate flavour Corn Flakes.
