Restaurant Brings Approximately 150 Full- and Part-Time Jobs to Community, Honors 100 Local Heroes With Free Chick-fil-A Meals for a Year


KEIZER, Ore. (Aug. 1, 2022) – A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant will begin serving the Keizer community on Thursday, August 4. Chick-fil-A, Inc. has selected Clint Peebles as the independent franchised Owner/Operator of Chick-fil-A I-5 & Chemawa Rd. 

Located at 5655 Ulali Drive NE, Chick-fil-A I-5 & Chemawa Rd. will be open for dine-in and carry-out from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. and drive-thru from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Guests of Chick-fil-A I-5 & Chemawa Rd. can place an order for pickup, dine-in or delivery 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 I-5 & Chemawa Rd. restaurant will be the first Chick-fil-A in the mid-Willamette Valley and joins six other restaurants serving the wider Portland market.  

Locally Owned and Operated
As full-time, hands-on leaders in their restaurants and communities, Chick-fil-A Owner/Operators proudly reside in the areas in which they serve.  

In Keizer, Peebles will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 150 full- and part-time Team Members, serving guests and cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses.  

Peebles grew up in the Willamette Valley and graduated from Oregon State University in 2014 with a bachelor's degree in business management and a minor in communications. Peebles has always had his sights set on becoming a restaurant owner, dating back to his first high school job in the fast-food industry. Prior to joining Chick-fil-A, Peebles held positions as an Operations Manager and a Sales and Customer Service Manager.  In those previous roles, he found his passion for leading teams and serving others, which he looks forward to continuing as a Chick-fil-A Operator.  

“I feel blessed to have the opportunity to pursue my dream of owning a restaurant alongside my family and friends,” said Peebles. “I’m excited to begin this new chapter in Keizer serving delicious chicken with memorable hospitality. I also look forward to making an impact in the Keizer community by mentoring my Team Members, sponsoring youth athletics and supporting local schools.” 

Caring for the Keizer Community
In honor of the opening, Chick-fil-A, Inc. will donate $25,000 to Feeding America on behalf of the new restaurant. These funds will be distributed to partners in the greater Portland area to aid in the fight against hunger.  

Additionally, Chick-fil-A I-5 & Chemawa Rd. is recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the Keizer area by providing them with free Chick-fil-A meals for a year.  

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.
