Chick-fil-A, Inc. has selected Chris Rosson as the independent franchised Owner/Operator of Chick-fil-A Ridgeland. Rosson will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 100 full- and part-time Team Members, cultivating relationships with local organizations and neighboring businesses, and serving guests.

In place of the traditional Chick-fil-A First 100® Grand Opening celebration, Chick-fil-A Ridgeland will be surprising 100 local heroes making an impact in the Ridgeland community with free Chick-fil-A for a year. Additionally, in honor of the new restaurant opening, Chick-fil-A will donate $25,000 to Feeding America. The funds will be distributed to partners within the greater Jackson area to aid in the fight against hunger.  

Locally Owned and Operated 
Chick-fil-A Ridgeland is locally owned and operated by Chris Rosson, who first moved to the Ridgeland community in 1984 to open Chick-fil-A Northpark Mall, one of the eight Chick-fil-A restaurants in the Jackson area. Since then, Rosson has opened two additional Chick-fil-A restaurants, Chick-fil-A County Line Road and Chick-fil-A Madison. A seasoned Chick-fil-A Operator who has seen the Jackson area grow and flourish over nearly four decades, Rosson is an active member of his community as the founding member and past president of the City of Ridgeland Chamber of Commerce and an active member of the City of Madison Chamber. An avid fan of Chick-fil-A and the opportunities to give back to the community as an Operator, Rosson has recruited seven individuals to become Chick-fil-A Operators as well, including his brother in Mobile, Ala. He looks forward to serving his community as the Operator of Chick-fil-A Madison and Chick-fil-A Ridgeland alongside his wife and two children. 

“After nearly 40 years of serving guests as a Chick-fil-A Operator, I’ve learned that the most rewarding part of my work is the people,” says Rosson. “I’m excited to welcome new Team Members, give back to my community and create a positive dining experience for all who visit Chick-fil-A Madison and Chick-fil-A Ridgeland.”

Quality Ingredients; Delicious Food
