The Shelbyville restaurant joins 36 other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the wider Nashville market.   

Locally Owned and Operated  
As full-time, hands-on leaders in their restaurants and communities, Chick-fil-A local Owner-Operators proudly reside in the communities in which they serve.   

In Shelbyville, Womack 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.   

Opening her own Chick-fil-A restaurant is a dream come true for Womack. Growing up in Memphis, Womack has fond childhood memories of eating Chick-fil-A® Nuggets, playing on the playground and celebrating birthday parties at the nearby Chick-fil-A Olive Branch. However, it was the tradition of Friday breakfasts with friends during high school that sparked her lasting love for Chick-fil-A.   

Womack served as a Team Member in college, and her passion for Chick-fil-A's culture drove her to study business with the goal of one day becoming a local Owner-Operator. In 2015, Womack assumed the role of Director of Operations at the same Chick-fil-A where the Friday morning tradition was established. Womack’s dedication to service did not go unnoticed; when the Operator of Chick-fil-A Olive Branch opened a second restaurant in 2019, Womack took on the role of Operating Partner, overseeing both restaurants. Womack marked a significant milestone in her career when was selected as the local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Shelbyville. She is embarking on this new journey with her high school sweetheart and now husband, Zach, and their daughter. With a heart for service, Womack is eager to engage with the Shelbyville community.   

“As an Operator, my vision for the restaurant is to make a positive impact on our Team Members, Guests and the Shelbyville community through pursuing excellence in all that we do,” said Womack. “My hope is for Chick-fil-A Shelbyville to be a place where people make memories, just like my local Chick-fil-A growing up.”  

Caring for the Shelbyville Community  
In celebration of the opening, Chick-fil-A, Inc. has donated $25,000 to Feeding America to support local hunger relief efforts of Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee, a Feeding America partner food bank, in honor of the new restaurant.  

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

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.
