July 5, 2022
Restaurant Brings Approximately 180 Full- and Part-Time Jobs to Community, Honors 100 Local Heroes With Free Chick-fil-A Meals for a Year
PALM DESERT, Calif. (July 5, 2022) – A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant will begin serving Palm Desert and the Coachella Valley on Thursday, July 14, 2022. Chick-fil-A, Inc. has selected David Peck as the independent franchisee Owner/Operator of Chick-fil-A I-10 & Monterey Ave.
Located at 73070 Dinah Shore Drive, Palm Desert, CA, 92211, Chick-fil-A I-10 and Monterey will be open for dine-in, drive-thru and mobile drive-thru from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Guests can place an order for mobile drive-thru, or mobile dine-in on the Chick-fil-A® App or online. When joining the Chick-fil-A One® tiered membership program, guests receive points on every qualifying purchase which can be used to redeem available rewards.
Chick-fil-A at I-10 & Monterey Ave. is the first restaurant to serve the wider Coachella Valley.
Locally Owned and Operated
As full-time, hands-on leaders in their restaurants and communities, Chick-fil-A Owner/Operators proudly reside in the areas in which they serve. At I-10 & Monterey Ave., Peck will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 180 full- and part-time Team Members, serving guests and cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses.
Peck’s journey with Chick-fil-A began in 2013 while working at Azusa Pacific University, where he was introduced to a local restaurant’s Operator, Carlos Mayen Solorzano. After becoming fast friends, Peck was deeply impressed with Chick-fil-A’s purpose, and Mayen’s intentionality as each of Peck’s four children would work at Chick-fil-A. “I was able to experience the training and empowerment of each of my childrens’ first jobs, as they were encouraged to work hard, and make a difference each and every day.” After learning the business from the inside out, Peck joined the Chick-fil-A West Covina leadership team working under the direction of Operator Danny Hernandez, where he contributed to the areas of culture, leadership and operations. In addition to providing an atmosphere of service and care, Peck is eager to engage with the community and implement his vision to provide the best first job, next job or last job to those in the Coachella Valley.
“Palm Desert has such a special place in my heart – it’s where my wife and I got engaged, where my family has resided and where we’ve spent a lot of time with family and friends over the years. I couldn’t be more excited to bring Chick-fil-A to the Coachella Valley,” said Peck. “I truly believe that great food and genuine hospitality provide an opportunity to share lives and care about each other, and it is my goal to be a great new neighbor in the Palm Desert area, but to also win the heart of every guest who steps foot in this restaurant.”
Caring for the Palm Desert 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 Coachella Valley area to aid in the fight against hunger.
Chick-fil-A I-10 and Monterey Ave. will be recognizing 100 local heroes who are making an impact in the valley through their service. They will be provided free Chick-fil-A meals for a year.
Peck’s restaurant will be 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.

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.
