Restaurant adds more than 120 jobs to local economy
BARDSTOWN, Ky. (Oct. 30, 2025) – A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant will begin serving the Bardstown community on Thursday, Nov. 6, 2025, at 6:30 a.m., creating approximately 120 full- and part-time jobs. Chick-fil-A, Inc. selected Brantley Beck to be the local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Bardstown.
Located at 1205 Morton Ave., Chick-fil-A Bardstown will serve Guests Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., offering dine-in, drive-thru, carry-out, third-party delivery and catering.
Investing in the Bardstown Community
Beck is committed to caring for the Bardstown community by:
- Creating approximately 120 full- and part-time jobs. Chick-fil-A local Owners-Operators hire and grow top talent through 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 – all within a purpose-driven, flexible environment.
- Celebrating the opening with a $25,000 donation from Chick-fil-A, Inc. to Feeding America to support local hunger relief efforts of Feeding America Kentucky’s Heartland, a Feeding America partner food bank.
- Participating in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table® program, which redirects surplus food to local nonprofits and has helped to create over 42 million meals to date with over 2,500 restaurants participating.
Locally Owned and Operated
Chick-fil-A’s franchise model drives meaningful economic growth at the local level. Each restaurant is owned and operated by a single individual — a small business owner who lives in the community, creates jobs, mentors talent and reinvests directly into the local economy. Beck will work in his restaurant side by side with Team Members each day.
“Bardstown has always been a special place for my family. We’ve loved visiting over the years to enjoy the local traditions and festivities,” said Beck. “We’re incredibly grateful to now call this community home, and my hope is to build a restaurant culture that uplifts our Team Members and makes a lasting impact across Bardstown and beyond.”
Originally from Indiana, Beck’s connection to Chick-fil-A began through family visits to Georgia, where he first experienced the brand’s signature hospitality. Years later in Louisville, a local Owner-Operator offered Beck’s pregnant wife a Team Member position after she lost her job—an act of kindness that ultimately inspired Beck to pursue ownership himself.
Now, six years after starting as a Team Member himself, Beck was selected to open Chick-fil-A Bardstown. He, his wife, and their five children have made Bardstown home, building a local team dedicated to serving the community with delicious food and genuine hospitality.
