To celebrate, Daniels and team are inviting the community to show their spots at a Moove-In Party on opening day!

Located at 754 US Hwy 202, Chick-fil-A Bridgewater Towne Center will serve Guests Monday through Thursday from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., offering dine-in, drive-thru, carry-out, third-party delivery, mobile pick-up and Mobile Thru.

Locally Owned and Operated
“After more than two decades with Chick-fil-A, opening this restaurant is such a meaningful moment for my entire family,” said Daniels. “I’m excited to celebrate this new beginning with the Bridgewater community and create a place where people feel genuinely cared for. Our family is proud to call Bridgewater home, and we are looking forward to building new relationships and creating long-lasting memories for years to come.”
Daniels began his Chick-fil-A career as a Team Member in 2000, where he developed an early passion for the brand’s people-first culture. After receiving the Chick-fil-A Remarkable Futures™ scholarship, he was inspired to pursue the path to local ownership by the leadership and generosity of the Operators he worked alongside. Over the course of his career with Chick-fil-A, Daniels became one of the first Operators to bring Chick-fil-A to New York City, helping grow the brand in one of the country’s largest markets. After years of living and working in the city, Daniels and his family were drawn to Bridgewater for the opportunity to build a life in a suburban community they could call home. As the local Owner-Operator of the first Chick-fil-A restaurant in Bridgewater, Daniels looks forward to serving Guests with genuine hospitality while investing in the growth and development of his Team Members.
Caring for the Bridgewater Community
Daniels is committed to giving back to the Bridgewater community by:
- Celebrating the opening with a $25,000 donation from Chick-fil-A, Inc. to Feeding America in honor of the new restaurant. These funds will be distributed to partners in the greater New Jersey area to aid in the fight against hunger.
- Participating in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table® program, which redirects surplus food to local nonprofits, helping to create over 42 million meals nationwide to date.
- Creating approximately 100 jobs.
