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


NEWINGTON, N.H. (Aug. 29, 2024) – A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant will begin serving the Newington community on Thursday, Sept. 5, 2024. Chick-fil-A, Inc. has selected Mike Vonhof as the independent franchised local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Newington. 

Located at 2060 Woodbury Ave., Chick-fil-A Newington will be open for dine-in, drive-thru, carry out, and catering pick-up from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The restaurant will also offer Mobile Thru, a fully dedicated lane in the drive-thru where Guests can pick up orders placed ahead of time on the Chick-fil-A App. 

The Newington restaurant is the first in the Seacoast Region and the fourth in the state of New Hampshire. 

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 Newington, Vonhof will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 100 full- and part-time Team Members, serving Guests, cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses, and tailoring philanthropic efforts to meet the Newington community’s needs. 

Vonhof is excited to return to the Seacoast Region, where he and his family previously lived for a decade and where his first two children were born. Following a career in the retail industry, Vonhof was reintroduced to Chick-fil-A in 2015 when his oldest son became a Team Member at a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Delaware. After getting to know the restaurant’s local Owner-Operator and following an impactful visit to the Chick-fil-A Support Center in Atlanta, Vonhof realized his own desire to become a local Owner-Operator and the opportunity to make a positive impact on people and communities. 

After serving as the local Owner-Operator of a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Delaware for the past five years, Vonhof is thrilled to return to the Seacoast Region to open Chick-fil-A Newington. The new restaurant will be a family business at its core: Each of his three children will serve in leadership roles at the new restaurant. 

“The Seacoast Region is rich with history, natural beauty and so many brilliant, hard-working people, and I cannot wait to begin serving these wonderful neighbors,” Vonhof said. “Chick-fil-A Newington will be a true family business, and we see the restaurant as an extension of our home. We want to provide a positive, caring experience for all Guests and Team Members who walk through our doors." 

Caring for the Newington 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 to support local hunger relief efforts of New Hampshire Food Bank, a Feeding America partner food bank, in honor of the new restaurant. 

Vonhof’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 Newington is recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the Newington 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 Newington can place an order for dine-in, drive-thru, carry out, catering pick-up and Mobile Thru on the Chick-fil-A® App or online.
