Locally Owned and Operated
Chick-fil-A has always been a family business for Blake Dennard, local Owner/Operator of Chick-fil-A Palomar. Dennard and his sister, who now works for Chick-fil-A as a Team Member, learned the importance of giving back to others from their father, a fellow Chick-fil-A Operator. Dennard followed in his father’s footsteps during his time at University of Kentucky as a Team Member and was selected for the Chick-fil-A Leadership Development Program after graduation. He served as the Operator of Chick-fil-A Somerset Collection in Michigan for five years and met his wife during that time at a summit for Chick-fil-A Operators. Today, Dennard looks forward to returning to Kentucky and serving the Lexington community.
“As a Chick-fil-A Operator, I’m honored to have the unique opportunity to truly engrain myself within the community,” said Dennard. “I couldn’t be more thrilled to be back in Lexington and give back to my new Team Members and our guests.”
Designed for the Community
Chick-fil-A Palomar will offer a dynamic dining experience with seating for 90 guests. The restaurant will also utilize an innovative, multi-lane drive-thru with one lane dedicated to serving guests who use the Chick-fil-A® App to order ahead and the other for traditional ordering.
Team Member Investment
Chick-fil-A franchised Operators are committed to hiring, developing and retaining top talent, and providing a positive work environment for people of all ages and backgrounds. They also offer their Team Members 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.
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. Salads are made with whole fruits and vegetables that are chopped and prepared fresh throughout the day. Chick-fil-A Lemonade is made from three simple ingredients: lemon juice, sugar and water.
Breaded chicken is pressure cooked in 100%, fully refined peanut oil and all U.S. Chick-fil-A restaurants now 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.
