Tinley Park Welcomes First Chick-fil-A Restaurant
April 21, 2025
Restaurant Brings Approximately 100 Jobs to Community, Donates $25,000 to Address Food Insecurity
TINLEY PARK, III. (April 21, 2025) – A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant is ready to serve Tinley Park at its first location opening on Thursday, April 24, 2025, creating approximately 100 jobs. Chick-fil-A, Inc. selected Kevin Skarin to be the local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Tinley Park North, marking his second restaurant in the area.
Located at 16210 S. Harlem Ave., the new restaurant will serve Guests Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., offering dine-in, drive-thru, carry-out, third-party delivery, catering and Mobile Thru.
Locally Owned and Operated
"Opening a second restaurant is such an honor,” said Skarin. “I first joined Chick-fil-A as a Team Member without any restaurant experience, and I want my Team Members to know they can do the same—grow, thrive and pursue something bigger than they ever expected, even beyond the restaurant. Now, with the incredible honor of reaching even more people in the community, I couldn’t have dreamt of a better career, or purpose, than being a positive influence while serving delicious, craveable food.”
- A Chicagoland native, Skarin’s journey with Chick-fil-A began in 2010.
- Since becoming a local Owner-Operator, he has felt privileged to grow alongside the community—donating to local schools and nonprofits and mentoring Team Members into leadership roles.
- Skarin will continue to own and operate Chick-fil-A Orland Park alongside his new restaurant, employing approximately 200 full- and part-time Team Members across the two restaurants.
- Visit the restaurant’s Facebook page to hear more from Skarin about his excitement for this next chapter.
Caring for the Tinley Park Community:
Skarin is committed to giving back to the Tinley Park community by:
- Participating in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table® program, which redirects surplus food to local nonprofits and has helped to create over 35 million meals to date.

- Recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the Chicago community by providing them with free Chick-fil-A entrées for a year.
