Locally Owned and Operated
“Opening Chick-fil-A Bartram Park the same month I celebrate 30 years as an Operator is especially meaningful,” said Parker. “During this time our team has partnered with schools, families and businesses in Bartram Park and Durbin, and this community has always felt like home. We’re grateful to serve our neighbors and make every Guest feel like family.”
A Jacksonville native, Parker first became interested in Chick-fil-A while living and working in Atlanta after college, drawn to the brand’s culture and founder S. Truett Cathy’s story. He began his Chick-fil-A career as a local Owner-Operator in Tennessee in 1996 and currently serves as the local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Southside Blvd at the Avenues, where he takes pride in developing young leaders and building meaningful community relationships. With Chick-fil-A Bartram Park, Parker looks forward to building on two decades of local partnerships and creating more opportunities for leadership development.
