The Chick-fil-A La Rambla Restaurant Will Bring Approximately 120 Full and Part-Time Jobs to the Community; Honors 100 Local Heroes with Free Chick-fil-A Entrées for a Year


Ponce, Puerto Rico (June 24, 2024) – A second Chick-fil-A® restaurant will begin serving the Ponce community and surrounding Southern region of Puerto Rico on Thursday, June 27th. Chick-fil-A has selected Ponce native Enrique Questell Pereira as the independent franchised Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A La Rambla.

Located at PR-14, KM. 3.7. Ponce, PR 00728, Chick-fil-A La Rambla will be open for dine-in, drive-thru, carry-out and catering from 6:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and 6:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Chick-fil-A is excited to continue its growth in Puerto Rico, with a total of six restaurants: Los Filtros, Plaza del Sol, Humacao, Hatillo, Reina del Sur and La Rambla.

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

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

Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, Questell Pereira completed his studies at the University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez and at Cornell University in New York. Back in Puerto Rico, he joined Red Ventures, where he helped donate 40 homes to families affected by Hurricane Maria, before becoming Director of the Puerto Rico Department of Education's Office of Recovery. In addition, since the birth of his daughter Gianna, he has actively supported Down syndrome causes, raising funds and organizing community events on the island. Enrique now lives in Ponce with his wife, Glorimar, and daughter. Learn more about Enrique and his journey at Chick-fil-A here.

“I’m honored to have the opportunity to open the second Chick-fil-A restaurant on the south side of the island and make my restaurant a place of care and growth for the Ponce community, Team Members and my neighbors,” Questell Pereira said. “I have a passion for developing talent and helping them grow to their fullest potential and hope to inspire the next generation of leaders in Puerto Rico through mentorship, excellent hospitality and great service.”

Caring for the Ponce 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.

Chick-fil-A La Rambla is recognizing 100 local heroes from SER de Puerto Rico and San Cristóbal Cancer Institute making an impact in the Ponce area by providing them with free Chick-fil-A entrées for a year.
