Chick-fil-A Announces New Sanford Restaurant, Opening Dec. 12
Dec. 09, 2024
Restaurant Brings Approximately 120 Full- and Part-Time Jobs to Community, Honors 100 Local Heroes with Free Chick-fil-A Entrées for a Year
SANFORD, Fla. (Dec. 9, 2024) – A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant will begin serving the Sanford community on Thursday, Dec. 12, 2024. Chick-fil-A, Inc. has selected Chris Redmon as the independent franchised local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A West Sanford.
Located at 267 High Water Lane, Chick-fil-A West Sanford will be open for dine-in, drive-thru and carry-out from 6:00 a.m.to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The restaurant also features Mobile Thru, a fully dedicated lane in the drive-thru where Guests can pick up orders placed ahead of time on the Chick-fil-A App®.
The West Sanford restaurant joins more than 60 other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the wider Orlando-Daytona Beach-Melbourne 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.
In Sanford, Redmon will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 120 full- and part-time Team Members, serving Guests, cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses, and tailoring philanthropic efforts to meet the Sanford community’s needs.
Redmon’s Chick-fil-A journey began over 10 years ago, when he started as a Team Member at a
Chick-fil-A restaurant in the Atlanta area. Driven by a deep passion for service, Redmon quickly discovered his calling in the hospitality industry, setting his sights on ownership. In 2018, after several years of honing his leadership and learning the ins and outs of the business, his dream became reality when he was selected to become a local Owner-Operator in Sanford — a city he and his wife Stephanie call home and hold dear. After three years of serving the Sanford community, Redmon stepped into a new opportunity, becoming the local Owner-Operator of a Chick-fil-A in Yucaipa, California.
Now, Redmon and his wife—who has also worked for Chick-fil-A for 17 years—have returned to Sanford, bringing their commitment to exceptional service and heartfelt hospitality back to the community they love. Together, they are excited to continue building meaningful connections and inspiring care at Chick-fil-A West Sanford.
“I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to grow alongside the Sanford community once again, serving our Guests with great care and dedication,” said Redmon. “This company has played such an important part in my development, both personally and professionally, and I’m excited to pour that experience and leadership into my Team Members as we open Chick-fil-A West Sanford.”
Caring for the Sanford 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.
In celebration of the opening, Chick-fil-A, Inc. has donated $25,000 to Feeding America in honor of the new restaurant. These funds will be distributed to partners in the greater Orlando area to aid in the fight against hunger.
Redmon’s restaurant will plan to participate 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 30 million meals have been created from Chick-fil-A Shared Table donations from over 2,200 Chick-fil-A restaurants throughout the U.S. and Canada.
In addition, Chick-fil-A West Sanford is recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the Sanford area by providing them with free Chick-fil-A entrées for a year.
Team Member Investment
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 development 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.
Delicious Food; Outstanding Customer Service
