A chicken and frozen custard franchise with restaurants across the nation is set to open its first Washington state location this month in the Frederickson area.
Still to come, a new site near the Tacoma Mall to give Chick-fil-A a run for its money.
But first, Washington's inaugural Super Chix is set to soft launch Monday (Aug. 7) with a grand opening 11 a.m. Aug. 12 at the Frederickson Place shopping center, 17710 Canyon Road E., Suite 100.
The dates were confirmed this week by franchise owners Mohammad and Elina Khadar, who shared updates with The News Tribune.
Super Chix offers a variety of chicken sandwiches, from "The Simple" with a breaded, fried chicken filet and kosher pickles to "The Cordon Bleu" with a chicken filet, ham, Swiss cheese and honey mustard. Frozen custard offerings include standard vanilla and chocolate and a flavor of the week, most recently key lime pie, according to its online menu.
Super Chix announced in April 2022 that the Khadars, along with their operating team, would develop at least 35 new Super Chix restaurants in Washington and Oregon.
The News Tribune reported on plans for the first Washington state Super Chix site in March. Frederickson Place shopping center includes an Amazon Go and ATI Physical Therapy.
The Khadars told The News Tribune on Wednesday that their other planned Super Chix locations include 2555 Hogum Bay Road NE, Suite A, Lacey, on the other side of Interstate 5 from a Chick-fil-A; 1507 S. 348th St., Federal Way; and 4201 S. Steele St., Suite C, Tacoma — mere blocks from Chick-fil-A at 3902 S. Steele St.
Opening dates for the Tacoma, Lacey and Federal Way locations are to be determined, but the Tacoma site opening would likely be next year, according to Mohammad Khadar.
The Tacoma address is the former Adriatic Grill, which reopened at the Oakbrook Golf Club in Lakewood in November 2019. No Super Chix permits for the site were listed on file with the city as of Aug. 2.
