LANDOVER HILLS, Md. (Jan. 3, 2023) – A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant will begin serving the Landover Hills community on Thursday, Jan. 5, 2023. Chick-fil-A, Inc. has selected Jessie Chesson as the independent franchised Owner/Operator of Chick-fil-A Capital Plaza.  

Located at 6150 Annapolis Road, Chick-fil-A Capital Plaza will be open for dine-in, drive-thru, curbside and carry-out from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

The Capital Plaza restaurant joins 93 other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the wider Washington, D.C. 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 communities in which they serve.  

In Landover Hills, Chesson will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 140 full- and part-time Team Members, serving guests and cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses.  

As a Maryland native and Prince George’s County resident, Chesson has spent most of her life in the area and values the opportunity to give back to her local community. Inspired by the brand’s entrepreneurial spirit and customer service focus, Chesson joined Chick-fil-A in 2015 as the Operator of Chick-fil-A DC USA, the restaurant company's first restaurant in Washington, D.C. Prior to joining Chick-fil-A, Chesson earned a bachelor’s degree from Howard University and a master’s from George Washington University and spent 20 years in corporate marketing and advertising. In addition to Chick-fil-A Capital Plaza, Chesson will continue to operate Chick-fil-A Dakota Crossing and serve as an Operator consultant at Chick-fil-A Union Station. 

“I look forward to expanding the positive impact Chick-fil-A and my team will have on the greater Washington, D.C. and Landover Hills community,” said Chesson. “My vision for Chick-fil-A Capital Plaza is to provide exceptional service and hospitality by fostering a fun and safe place to work, visit and enjoy delicious food.” 

Caring for the Landover Hills 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 Washington, D.C. area to aid in the fight against hunger.  

In addition, Chick-fil-A Capital Plaza is recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the Landover Hills area by providing them with free Chick-fil-A meals for a year.   

Chesson’s restaurant plans on participating 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.  

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.
