A Chick-fil-A Christmas

Santa came to Chick-fil-A Wake Forest last week! If you were there, you know how busy it was and hopefully you enjoyed the day. Our breakfast with Santa is always a hit with the community!

Our first Chick-fil-A restaurant was in Brunswick, Georgia.  Rob took over as Operator of that unit in June of 1999. One of our most loved team members, Heather, painted the picture frame shown below and gave it to us that year.  We've displayed every Christmas since. It's so fun to look at those faces and remember the times we had there. There are some we never lost touch with, including Heather. There are other special ones we did lose touch with, but just this year reconnected through - you guessed it - Facebook.

Back then we had around 17 employees and now we have over 60! What a difference 12 years has made, and how richly God has blessed our business by increased sales and great people to work alongside us serving chicken and striving to be good stewards.  Chick-fil-A's purpose statement is "to glorify God by being a faithful steward of all He has entrusted to us and to be a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A."
