Restaurant Brings Approximately 120 Jobs to Community, Donates $25,000 to Address Food Insecurity 


FLOWOOD, Miss. (April 7, 2025) – A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant is ready to serve Flowood at its newest location opening on April 10, 2025, creating approximately 120 jobs. Chick-fil-A, Inc. selected Ian Hodges to be the local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Treetops.  

Located at 2520 Lakeland Drive, the new restaurant will serve guests Monday through Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., offering dine-in, drive-thru, carry-out, delivery and Mobile Thru.  

Locally Owned and Operated
“The key to our Guest experience is our commitment to the small things that make a big difference—a warm welcome, a kind gesture, and a commitment to excellence in every interaction," said Hodges. "Serving others has always been my passion, and I can’t wait to bring that same spirit to our community in Flowood.”   

  • Hodges started as a part-time Team Member in 2011. Mentored by local Owner-Operator William Boulware, he developed into key leadership roles, setting his sights on owning and operating a Chick-fil-A restaurant. 
  • For eight years, Hodges served as a local Owner-Operator in Jackson, Mississippi. Now in Flowood, he looks forward to continuing his commitment to investing in his Team Members and strengthening connections within the community. 


Caring for the Flowood Community

Hodges is committed to giving back to the Flowood community by:  

  • Planning to participate in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table® program, which redirects surplus food to local nonprofits and has helped to create over 35 million meals to date.  
  • Celebrating the opening with a $25,000 donation from Chick-fil-A, Inc. to Feeding America to support local hunger relief efforts of the Mississippi Food Network in the greater Jackson market.  
  • Recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the Flowood community by providing them with free Chick-fil-A entrées for a year.
