Chick-fil-A Announces New East Brunswick Restaurant, Opening March 27
March 24, 2025
Restaurant Brings Approximately 100 Full- and Part-Time Jobs to Community, Honors 100 Local Heroes with Free Chick-fil-A Entrées for a Year
EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J. (March 24, 2025) – A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant will begin serving the East Brunswick community on Thursday, March 27. Chick-fil-A, Inc. has selected Chris Smith as the independent franchised local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A East Brunswick.
Located at 371 State Route 18, Chick-fil-A East Brunswick will be open for dine-in, drive-thru, carry-out and delivery from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Saturday. The restaurant’s drive thru will remain open until 10 p.m. The new restaurant will also offer Mobile Thru, a fully dedicated lane in the drive-thru where Guests can pick up orders placed ahead of time on the Chick-fil-A App®.
The East Brunswick restaurant joins more than 70 other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the wider New York/New Jersey metro area.
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 East Brunswick, Smith will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 100 full- and part-time Team Members, serving Guests, cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses, and tailoring philanthropic efforts to meet the East Brunswick community’s needs.
A native of Montclair, New Jersey, Smith began his Chick-fil-A career as a college student, where he worked as a Team Member for five years. Inspired by Chick-fil-A's signature care and community impact, Smith relocated to Atlanta to work at a Chick-fil-A restaurant before entering the Chick-fil-A® Leadership Development Program, where he honed his leadership skills and supported local
Owner-Operators across the U.S. After three years in the program, Smith achieved his ultimate goal when he was selected as the local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A East Brunswick.
Smith has a passion for connecting with people from different walks of life and finding ways to help others achieve their goals. Through Chick-fil-A East Brunswick, he is excited to bring his expertise and passion for serving others to the growing community.
“I’m thrilled get back to my New Jersey roots and bring Chick-fil-A to East Brunswick. I’m looking forward to making a positive impact in the community,” said Smith. “I hope my new restaurant becomes a place for everyone to feel at home, and a place where my Team Members can grow and succeed both personally and professionally.”
Caring for the East Brunswick 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 New Jersey area to aid in the fight against hunger.
Smith’s restaurant is 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. 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 East Brunswick is recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the East Brunswick 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.
Delicious Food; Outstanding Customer Service
Chick-fil-A is known for creating a welcoming, remarkable restaurant experience, starting with friendly service, a warm welcome and quality food, 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. 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.
Guests of Chick-fil-A East Brunswick can place an order for pickup, dine-in, delivery, drive-thru or Mobile Thru on the Chick-fil-A® App or online.
