‘We’re open’

Super Chix is latest biz in Town Center

Super Chix Chicken & Custard has opened its doors.

Its newest location at 116 Brooklawn St. in Farragut, which opened Monday, Oct. 21, is serving up chicken tenders, sandwiches, salads, its hand-cut fries and creamy frozen custard.

“We’re excited to be part of this community and be part of Farragut,” Super Chix area director Seth Stephens said.

“This concept is to make the freshest chicken and freshest custard,” he added. “The chicken is breaded and fried or grilled to order.”

Customers can get a two-piece, three-piece, five-piece or six-piece order of chicken tenders.

Or, they can choose a sandwich: simple, deluxe, slider, bavaco ranch, blackened Cajun, Cordon Bleu, cheesy barbecue or Nashville hot, buffalo ranch. For vegetarians, there is crispy avo (breaded avocado stuffed with melted Gouda cheese, garlic aioli, lettuce and tomato).

Knox Stretch gets fascia in shape

At Knox Stretch, owner/fascial stretch therapist Rachel Defendorf provides fascial tissue stretching.

“Long story short, you lay on the table and I do all the work,” she said and laughed. “Fascia is like cobwebs all over the body.”

Fascia is the thin casing of connective tissue surrounding and holding every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place, according to the John Hopkins Medicine website.

“So when you can lay on a table and relax, and I do all the work, your body can respond better than if you were to do it on your own,” she said. “It sounds like you can do it on your own, but your body is fighting against itself when you’re doing it yourself, and with the fascia and getting the traction in there … you can’t pull on your own leg.

“I can do that, and your body can relax with you just laying on the table,” Defendorf added.

And, no, the stretching does not hurt.
