Restaurant Brings Approximately 100 Full- and Part-Time Jobs to Community, Honors 100 Local Heroes with Free Chick-fil-A Meals for a Year


CEDARTOWN, Ga. (March 27, 2023) – A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant will begin serving the Cedartown community on Thursday, March 30. Chick-fil-A, Inc. has selected Kristen Brannon as the independent franchised Owner/Operator of Chick-fil-A Cedartown.  

Located at 1610 Rome Hwy., Chick-fil-A Cedartown will be open for dine-in, drive-thru and carry-out from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Guests of Chick-fil-A Cedartown can place an order for pickup or dine-in on the Chick-fil-A® App or online. When joining the Chick-fil-A One® tiered membership program, guests receive points on every qualifying purchase, which can be used to redeem available rewards. Visit chick-fil-a.com/delivery to view delivery options in your area. 

The Cedartown restaurant will be the second Chick-fil-A restaurant to serve Polk County.  

Locally Owned and Operated  
As full-time, hands-on leaders in their restaurants and communities, Chick-fil-A Owner/Operators proudly reside in the communities in which they serve.  
 
In Cedartown, Brannon will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 100 full- and part-time Team Members, serving guests and cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses.  

As a Georgia native, Brannon is excited to provide numerous job opportunities and give back to the Polk County community she grew up in. While pursuing her Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Truett McConnell College, she worked as a camp counselor and speaker at WinShape Camps. She also worked as an admissions counselor at Truett McConnell College.  
 
Brannon's husband, Tyler, will oversee all operational systems at Chick-fil-A Cedartown, including kitchen production, maintenance and inventory. Outside of the restaurant, Brannon and her husband love spending time with their two-year-old son, Gaines.  
 
"I am excited to be closer to family and serve the Polk County community that I grew up in," said Brannon. "I know what it's like to reside in a small town and I am eager to give back in various ways, including Team Member investment, community giving and treating residents with kindness." 
   
Caring for the Cedartown Community  
In celebration of the opening, Chick-fil-A, Inc. will donate $25,000 to Feeding America in honor of the new restaurant. These funds will be distributed to partners in the greater Polk County area to aid in the fight against hunger.  

In addition, Chick-fil-A Cedartown is recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the Cedartown area by providing them with free Chick-fil-A meals for a year.  

Brannon’s restaurant will plan to participate in Chick-fil-A Shared Table®, an initiative that redirects surplus food from the restaurant to local soup kitchens, shelters, food banks and nonprofits in need. To date, more than 18 million meals have been served nationwide from Chick-fil-A Shared Table donations. 

Team Member Investment  
Chick-fil-A Operators are committed to hiring, developing and retaining top talent and providing a positive work environment for people of all ages and backgrounds. Team Members have opportunities for flexible work hours and leadership growth, competitive pay and benefits, hands-on training and mentoring and the chance to apply for scholarships to support their continuing education.  

Delicious Food; Outstanding Customer Service  
Chick-fil-A is known for serving customers great-tasting food made with high-quality ingredients, including the original Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich. Made with a real, whole, boneless breast of chicken with no added fillers, the breaded chicken is pressure cooked in fully-refined peanut oil. Chick-fil-A was one of the first in the industry to eliminate chicken raised with antibiotics to ensure guests have an option for high-quality food on the go. 

To complement the great-tasting chicken, fresh produce is delivered to Chick-fil-A restaurants up to six times a week for the best quality and flavor. The fresh ingredients are raised and grown by farmers who share the company's elevated quality and safety standards, so guests feel good about their meal.
