The Chick-fil-A Alice restaurant joins 10 other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the wider Corpus Christi market.   

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

In Alice, Kandler will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 110 full- and part-time Team Members, serving Guests and cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses.   

An Atlanta native, Kandler started his journey with the Company as a teenager at Chick-fil-A Rivermont Station in Alpharetta, Georgia. During college, Kandler balanced his rigorous academic schedule with being a dedicated Team Member at Chick-fil-A Epps Bridge in Athens, Georgia. After graduation, he relocated to Texas to pursue a career with Chick-fil-A, and he grew from Team Member to Executive Director, working with several local Owner-Operators across the Rio Grande Valley to learn the ins and outs of the business. In 2021, he joined the Chick-fil-A® Leadership Development Program, supporting new restaurant openings for two years before being selected as the local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Alice. Kandler, his wife Viviana and their growing family are looking forward to getting involved with the community and connecting with Guests at Chick-fil-A Alice.  

“We want our Guests to understand how much we care about this community,” said Kandler. “Our restaurant will be more than just a place to enjoy delicious food. We want to be known for our investment in the community, supporting education and developing young leaders. We’re excited to be a part of the continuing growth in Alice.”  

Caring for the Alice 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 Corpus Christi area to aid in the fight against hunger.   

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

Kandler’s restaurant will plan to participate in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table® program, an initiative that redirects surplus food from the restaurant to local soup kitchens, shelters, food banks and nonprofits in need. To date, more than 23 million meals have been created from Chick-fil-A Shared Table donations from nearly 2,000 Chick-fil-A restaurants throughout the U.S. and Canada.   

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.
