Restaurant Brings Approximately 125 Full- and Part-Time Jobs to Community, Honors 100 Local Heroes with Free Chick-fil-A Entrées for a Year


OXFORD, Miss. (Aug. 1, 2024) – A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant will begin serving the Oxford community on Tuesday, August 6, 2024. Chick-fil-A, Inc. has selected Lance Reed as the independent franchised local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A East Oxford, marking his second restaurant in Oxford. 

Located at 800 Sisk Ave., Chick-fil-A East Oxford will be open for dine-in and carry-out from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and drive-thru from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday. In addition, Chick-fil-A East Oxford will offer Mobile Thru, a fully dedicated lane in the drive-thru where Guests can pick up orders placed on the Chick-fil-A® App. 

The Chick-fil-A East Oxford restaurant joins 24 other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the wider Memphis market. 

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 Oxford, Reed will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 125 full- and part-time Team Members, serving Guests, cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses, and tailoring philanthropic efforts to meet the Oxford community’s needs.  

Before becoming a local Owner-Operator, Reed and his wife, Amanda, dedicated several years to serving in a ministry focused on charitable and humanitarian efforts. While Reed was initially hesitant to embark on entrepreneurship, he realized he could continue making a positive impact on the community in a unique way. This led him to pursue a career at Chick-fil-A, where for the past 15 years, he has proudly served the Oxford community as the local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A West Jackson Avenue, which he will continue to operate alongside his new restaurant. 

“Having the opportunity to bring the first Chick-fil-A to this community has been nothing short of a gift. In the last 15 years, my Team Members and I have had the privilege of building strong relationships while aiming to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve,” said Reed. 

Excited and eager to bring the second Chick-fil-A restaurant to Oxford, Reed is most looking forward to continuing the restaurant’s third annual Princess Ball, where fathers and daughters in the community come together to share lasting memories. 

Caring for the Oxford 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 Memphis area to aid in the fight against hunger.  

Reed’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 25 million meals have been created from Chick-fil-A Shared Table donations from over 2,000 Chick-fil-A restaurants throughout the U.S. and Canada.  

In addition, Chick-fil-A East Oxford is recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the Oxford 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

Guests of Chick-fil-A East Oxford can place an order for carry-out, dine-in, drive-thru or Mobile Thru on the Chick-fil-A® App or online.
