New Design Features Expanded Drive-Thru, Brings Approximately 40 New Full- and Part-Time Jobs to Community


ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (July 24, 2024) – Chick-fil-A Tyrone Boulevard reopens for business at a new location on Thursday, July 25, 2024. The restaurant features an expanded drive-thru and an outdoor canopy for face-to-face ordering to enhance both the Guest and Team Member experience. Laurie Harris will continue serving as the independent franchised local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Tyrone Boulevard, which has been a part of the St. Petersburg community for over 18 years. 

Located at 2190 Tyrone Blvd. North, Chick-fil-A Tyrone Boulevard is open for dine-in, drive-thru, and carry-out from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday. The approximately 5,000 square foot restaurant features an inviting dining area with 86 indoor and outdoor seats, two drive-thru lanes, a designated outdoor canopy for face-to-face ordering and 50 parking spaces to accommodate Guests. Chick-fil-A Tyrone Boulevard also offers Mobile Thru, a fully dedicated lane in the drive-thru where Guests can pick up orders placed on the Chick-fil-A® App. 

The Tyrone Boulevard restaurant is one of more than more than 55 other Chick-fil-A® restaurants serving the wider Tampa market. 

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. 

At Chick-fil-A Tyrone Boulevard, Harris is responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 150 full- and part-time Team Members, serving Guests, cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses, and tailoring philanthropic efforts to meet the St. Petersburg community’s needs. The restaurant will welcome 40 new Team Members upon reopening at the new relocation. 

Harris’ Chick-fil-A journey began at Chick-fil-A Rock Hill in South Carolina, where she served as the Marketing Director and was soon promoted to General Manager. For the next three years, she developed her leadership skills while learning to enhance the Guest experience and gain a deeper understanding of the ins and outs of the business. Since becoming a local Owner-Operator in 2012, Harris has received several company awards for her leadership and team success. 

Harris and her husband Ed have been a part of the St. Petersburg community since 2019, when she became the local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Tyrone Boulevard. She looks forward to continuing to serve Guests delicious food in a new-and-improved restaurant. 

“We’re excited for the opportunity to improve our Guests’ experience at this new location with the addition of Mobile Thru and an outdoor canopy area,” said Harris. “It’s been a pleasure serving at Chick-fil-A Tyrone Boulevard for the last five and a half years, and our team is thrilled to continue supporting our community in a positive and intentional way.” 

Local Investment in the St. Petersburg 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. 

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 developing 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

Harris’ restaurant also participates 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 nearly 2,000 Chick-fil-A restaurants throughout the U.S. and Canada. 

Delicious Food; Outstanding Customer Service   
Chick-fil-A is known for creating a welcoming, remarkable restaurant experience, starting with friendly service, a warm welcome and quality food, 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. 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.
