Julie and Pete North of Potter LLC are the franchise owners of the new Tifton restaurant. Julie first connected with Chicken Salad Chick Founder, Stacy Brown, during their collegiate career at Auburn where their lifelong friendship began. Julie – better known to Chick fans as Jazzy Julie – named for the delicious chicken salad with hints of cayenne pepper, bacon, and cheddar – began her career as an emergency room nurse, where she worked for more than 12 years. As a busy nurse, Julie would frequently visit Chicken Salad Chick, bringing it to the hospital for her team as a treat. After continuous, steady brand growth, Julie knew it was the perfect time to become a Chick owner, and she and Pete opened Chicken Salad Chick in Valdosta in October 2013. In 2016, Julie was named Chicken Salad Chick's Owner of the Year, an accolade given to top Chick performers.

"From its roots of door-to-door sales to more than 210 franchise locations across the nation, it's a true joy to witness how much this brand has grown, and it only made sense that 'Jazzy Julie' would open up a Chicken Salad Chick herself to shine a light on the fresh ingredients that make the concept a hit with Chick fans," says Julie North. "Pete and I are honored to be a part of the Chick family, as we believe in the brand's core values of spreading joy, enriching lives, and serving others. We look forward to opening this new space in Tifton where guests can enjoy time with loved ones while enjoying a delicious, made-from-scratch meal."
