The Monrovia restaurant joins more than 100 other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the wider Los Angeles 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 communities in which they serve.  

In Monrovia, Turner 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.  

Turner’s career with Chick-fil-A dates back to 2011 in Northridge, Calif. when he got his first job working as a Team Member at his local restaurant, Chick-fil-A Northridge. He worked there for eight years, serving on all different levels of leadership and eventually earning a Chick-fil-A Remarkable Futures™ Scholarship. After graduating from California State University of Northridge with a degree in systems and operation management, Turner transitioned into a new role working as a grand opening supervisor, traveling across the country helping Operators open their new restaurants. Little did he know that he would soon become one of them.  

“It’s important to give back and build up the next generation of future leaders, and the opportunity to operate Chick-fil-A Huntington SW & 210 will allow us to do that,” Turner said. “My goal is to serve others and be the most caring restaurant in the Monrovia community.” 

Caring for the Monrovia Community  
In celebration of the opening, Chick-fil-A, Inc. will donate $25,000 to Feeding America in honor of the new restaurant. These funds will be distributed to partners in the greater Los Angeles area to aid in the fight against hunger.  

In addition, Chick-fil-A Huntington SW & 210 is recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the Monrovia area by providing them with free Chick-fil-A meals for a year. 

Turner’s restaurant will plan to participate in Chick-fil-A Shared Table^®, an initiative that redirects surplus food from the restaurant to local soup kitchens, shelters, food banks and nonprofits in need. To date, more than 18 million meals have been served nationwide from Chick-fil-A Shared Table donations. 

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 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.
