The Jonestown Road restaurant joins 14 other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the wider Harrisburg-Lancaster-Lebanon-York 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 Harrisburg, Kapetanakos will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 80-100 full- and part-time Team Members, serving guests and cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses.

Entrepreneurship is, as Kapetakanos describes it, in her blood. A Wilmington, Delaware native, Kapetakanos received a college a degree in entrepreneurship. She has worked in the restaurant industry since a young age, for national chains and her family’s pizzeria.

Kapetakanos looks forward to using the lessons learned throughout her career to better serve the Harrisburg community and inspire her Chick-fil-A Jonestown Road Team Members.

“My goal is to assist in the development of future leaders and positively impact their lives,” Kapetakanos said. “I aim to instill in my Team Members the belief that, through hard work, anything is achievable. Hard work is never easy, but working hard is so rewarding.”

Caring for the Harrisburg Community
In celebration of the opening, Chick-fil-A, Inc. will donate $25,000 to Feeding America in honor of the new restaurant. These funds will be distributed to partners in the greater Harrisburg area to aid in the fight against hunger.

In addition, Chick-fil-A Jonestown Road is recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the Harrisburg area by providing them with free Chick-fil-A entrées for a year.

Kapetanakos’ 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 20 million meals have been served nationwide from Chick-fil-A Shared Table donations.

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.
