During college, Pumilia worked at Chick-fil-A Brentwood in Nashville, and after graduation, he worked as a Grand Opening Supervisor for two years before becoming an Operator. Alongside his wife, RoseAnn, who is in charge of planning leadership team culture events for the restaurants, and their three children, Jennie, Joseph, and Michael, Pumilia is excited to bring a new Chick-fil-A restaurant to the Hammond area.
"I hope to create an environment that encourages and challenges Team Members to be the best versions of themselves,” said Pumilia. “I look forward to working with each Team Member and ensuring they feel known and cared for while working at my restaurant.”

Quality Ingredients; Delicious Food
Chick-fil-A focuses on serving customers great-tasting food made with high quality ingredients. The produce used in recipes is delivered to kitchens up to six times a week.

Breaded chicken is pressure cooked in 100%, fully refined peanut oil and all U.S. Chick-fil-A restaurants serve chicken raised with No Antibiotics Ever, starting from the egg. By not allowing antibiotics of any kind, Chick-fil-A chicken meets the highest commitment for non-antibiotic use.
