Locally Owned and Operated
Chick-fil-A has always been a family business for Henckel, whose father and brother are also Chick-fil-A Owners/Operators. Henckel’s earliest memories include playing in the back of his father’s restaurant in Beaumont, Texas where he later worked as a Team Member and was awarded a Chick-fil-A scholarship to help pursue an engineering degree. After 13 years in the engineering field, he returned to Beaumont and spent six years running his father’s restaurants. He looks forward to opening his own restaurant in Lufkin and serving the community alongside his family.
“I’ve seen firsthand what a positive impact Chick-fil-A can have on communities, not only while watching my father run his restaurants, but also working as a Team Member and serving guests,” says Henckel. “I’m excited to welcome new Team Members, give back to the community, and create a memorable dining experience for all who visit Chick-fil-A West Lufkin.”

Quality Ingredients; Delicious Food
Chick-fil-A focuses on serving customers great-tasting food made with high quality ingredients. The produce used in recipes is delivered to kitchens up to six times a week.

Breaded chicken is pressure cooked in 100%, fully refined peanut oil and all U.S. Chick-fil-A restaurants serve chicken raised with No Antibiotics Ever, starting from the egg. By not allowing antibiotics of any kind, Chick-fil-A chicken meets the highest commitment for non-antibiotic use.
