Locally Owned and Operated
“Some of the most meaningful moments in my career have come from the people who believed in me and the opportunity to do the same for others,” said Easthon. “As we open Chick-fil-A Havendale & Jersey, my goal is to enrich the community by creating a place where our Guests feel welcomed, cared for and connected to their community.”
Easthon’s Chick-fil-A journey began when he was a teenager as a Team Member, where he received an education scholarship and mentorship that helped shape his path to becoming a local Owner-Operator. Today, he is passionate about paying that support forward by helping his Team Members grow and pursue their goals. With his second restaurant, Easthon looks forward to deepening his roots in Winter Haven and Auburndale and continuing to serve the community.
