October 23, 2023
Restaurant Brings Approximately 120 Full- and Part-Time Jobs to Community, Honors 100 Local Heroes with Free Chick-fil-A Entrées for a Year
PHOENIX (Oct. 23, 2023) – A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant will begin serving the Phoenix community on Thursday, Oct. 26. Chick-fil-A, Inc. has selected William Cook as the independent franchised Owner/Operator of Chick-fil-A Higley & Baseline.
Located at 5205 E Baseline Road, Chick-fil-A Higley & Baseline will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The restaurant’s custom design will feature Chick-fil-A’s trademark hospitality through a dual-lane drive-thru experience to serve guests from the convenience of their cars and outdoor patio dining. The restaurant will also feature a walk-up window for pedestrians, where guests will be greeted face-to-face by a Team Member to place their order for carry-out.
Guests of Chick-fil-A Higley & Baseline can place an order for pickup or drive-thru on the Chick-fil-A® App or online. When joining the Chick-fil-A One® tiered membership program, guests receive points on every qualifying purchase which can be used to redeem available rewards. Visit chick-fil-a.com/delivery to view delivery options in your area.
The Higley & Baseline restaurant joins 40 other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the wider Phoenix market.
Locally Owned and Operated
As full-time, hands-on leaders in their restaurants and communities, Chick-fil-A Owner/Operators proudly reside in the areas in which they serve.
In Phoenix, Cook will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 120 full- and part-time Team Members, serving guests and cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses.
For Cook, Chick-fil-A is a family business. His father is an Operator in Alburquerque, Arizona and his sister is an Operator in Prescott Valley, Arizona, while other family members work in various positions at these restaurants. After 15 years in the healthcare industry as a pharmacist, Cook finally took the leap to pursue his dream and apply to become a Local Owner-Operator.
“I’ve been able to watch my father and sister as Operators for the last 15 years, and now I finally get to join in on all the Chick-fil-A conversations at our family gatherings,” said Cook. “I’m so excited to follow the family path and become the Local Owner-Operator of my own restaurant, along with having a positive impact on this community and caring for our guests.”
Caring for the Phoenix Community
In celebration of the opening, Chick-fil-A, Inc. has donated $25,000 to Feeding America to support local hunger relief efforts of St. Mary’s Food Bank, a Feeding America partner food bank.
In addition, Chick-fil-A Higley & Baseline is recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the Phoenix area by providing them with free Chick-fil-A entrées for a year.
Cook's restaurant will plan to participate in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table® Program, an initiative that redirects surplus food from the restaurant to local soup kitchens, shelters, food banks and nonprofits in need. To date, more than 20 million meals have been served nationwide from Chick-fil-A Shared Table donations.
Chick-fil-A, Inc. recently released its first cookbook to raise awareness of food insecurity and the importance of reducing food waste. Entitled “Extra Helpings,” the cookbook is inspired by the Chick-fil-A Shared Table® program and features recipes from local nonprofit partners which repurpose Chick-fil-A® restaurant food donations to help feed their communities across the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada. Free to view online, the digital cookbook shares ideas for at-home cooks to reduce food waste by repurposing extra food in their own kitchens - similar to how local nonprofits transform surplus food donated from local Chick-fil-A restaurants.
Team Member Investment
Chick-fil-A Operators are committed to hiring, developing and retaining top talent and providing a positive work environment for people of all ages and backgrounds. Team Members have opportunities for flexible work hours and leadership growth, competitive pay and benefits, hands-on training and mentoring and the chance to apply for scholarships to support their continuing education.
Delicious Food; Outstanding Customer Service
Chick-fil-A is known for creating a welcoming, remarkable restaurant experience, serving customers great-tasting food made with high-quality ingredients, including the original Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich. Made with a real, whole, boneless breast of chicken with no added fillers, the breaded chicken is pressure cooked in fully-refined peanut oil. Chick-fil-A was one of the first in the industry to eliminate chicken raised with antibiotics to ensure guests have an option for high-quality food on the go.
To complement the great-tasting chicken, fresh produce is delivered to Chick-fil-A restaurants up to six times a week for the best quality and flavor. The fresh ingredients are raised and grown by farmers who share the company's elevated quality and safety standards, so guests feel good about their meal.
