Restaurant Brings Approximately 105 Full- and Part-Time Jobs to Community, Honors 100 Local Heroes with Free Chick-fil-A Meals for a Year 


HOUSTON (Jan. 9, 2023) – A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant will begin serving the Houston community on Thursday, Jan. 12, 2023. Chick-fil-A, Inc. has selected Juli Salvagio as the independent franchised Owner/Operator of Chick-fil-A Main & Kirby.  

Located at 7900 Main St., across from NRG Stadium, Chick-fil-A Main & Kirby will be open for drive-thru and carry-out from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Guests of Chick-fil-A Main & Kirby can place an order for pickup or delivery 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. Visit chick-fil-a.com/delivery to view delivery options in your area. 

The Main & Kirby restaurant joins more than 125 other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the wider Houston 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 Houston, Salvagio will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 105 full- and part-time Team Members, serving guests and cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses.  

A Houston native, Salvagio is thrilled to open her second Chick-fil-A restaurant in her hometown. Following a successful career spanning business operations, marketing and consulting, she pursued the path to become a Chick-fil-A Operator and soon after opened her first location Chick-fil-A Holcombe and Buffalo in 2005. Salvagio is looking forward to opening her second restaurant, alongside her husband John and their three children, and continuing to serve the Houston community.  

"We want to have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A, and it’s my hope that our restaurant shows so much care for the Houston community,” said Salvagio. “I am eager to get to know my new guests and Team Members as we open Main & Kirby.” 

Caring for the Houston 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 Houston area to aid in the fight against hunger.  

In addition, Chick-fil-A Main & Kirby is recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the Houston area by providing them with free Chick-fil-A meals for a year.  

Salvagio's restaurant will plan to participate in Chick-fil-A Shared Table®️, an initiative that redirects surplus food from the restaurant to local soup kitchens, shelters, food banks and nonprofits in need. To date, more than 15 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.
