Restaurant Brings Approximately 120 Full- and Part-Time Jobs to Community, Honors 100 Local Heroes with Free Chick-fil-A Entrées for a Year 


SAN JOSE, Calif. (Feb. 10, 2025) – A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant will begin serving the San Jose community on Thursday, February 13. Chick-fil-A, Inc. has selected Ashleigh Andrade as the independent franchised local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Capitol & Silver Creek. 

Located at 3123 Silver Creek Road, Chick-fil-A Capitol & Silver Creek will be open for dine-in, drive-thru, carry-out and delivery from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday.  

The Capitol & Silver Creek restaurant joins 26 other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the wider Bay Area region. 

Locally Owned and Operated
Chick-fil-A’s franchise model is essential to how the restaurant serves others. Most Chick-fil-A restaurants are owned and operated by a single individual, which means Chick-fil-A’s local
Owner-Operators are small business owners, not passive investors, who work in their restaurants side by side with their Team Members each day. 

In San Jose, Andrade will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 120 full- and part-time Team Members, serving Guests, cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses, and tailoring philanthropic efforts to meet the San Jose community’s needs. 

While pursuing her accounting degree in college, Andrade discovered Chick-fil-A at a career fair and was immediately drawn to the company’s focus on hospitality and local community involvement. What started as a part-time Team Member position quickly evolved into a lifelong career when she discovered Chick-fil-A's mentorship and personal growth opportunities. She has since supported the opening of new restaurants through the Chick-fil-A® Leadership Development Program and served on the leadership team of a Bay Area location. During her time serving in the Bay Area, she met and fell in love with her now husband. After getting married in San Jose, Andrade and her husband welcomed their first child, planted new roots and proudly call the Bay Area home.  

“Growing up, it was always a tradition in my family to stop at Chick-fil-A when visiting southern states to satisfy our craving for fresh and delicious chicken. Little did I know that those amazing family memories would turn into a lifelong career,” said Andrade. “I couldn’t be more thrilled to open
Chick-fil-A Capitol & Silver Creek in my new hometown of San Jose, where we look forward to establishing a team and helping a new generation of Team Members find their true calling and passion.” 

Caring for the San Jose Community
The Chick-fil-A business is built to add positive impact beyond profit, including giving back to local communities. Chick-fil-A local Owner-Operators are empowered to support the neighborhoods they serve with a key focus on hunger, education, and specific community needs.  

In celebration of the opening, Chick-fil-A, Inc. has donated $25,000 to Feeding America in honor of the new restaurant. These funds will be distributed to partners in the greater Bay Area to aid in the fight against hunger.  

Andrade’s restaurant will 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 35 million meals have been created from Chick-fil-A Shared Table donations from over 2,300 Chick-fil-A restaurants throughout the U.S. and Canada.   

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

Team Member Investment
Chick-fil-A local Owner-Operators strive to hire, develop and retain top talent, helping future leaders optimize their skills and providing pathways for personal and professional development in a welcoming, purpose-driven environment. A career at Chick-fil-A offers a wide range of benefits, including hands-on training and mentoring, competitive pay and benefits, the chance to apply for scholarships to support continued education, and the flexibility to thrive in and outside of work. Chick-fil-A’s local Owner-Operators are committed to preparing their team for the future, wherever it may lead. To learn more about careers at Chick-fil-A, click here
