Locally Owned and Operated
“Chick-fil-A has been part of my story for nearly 40 years, and what has always mattered most is the opportunity to invest in people,” said Holmes. “From developing future leaders to serving alongside my wife, opening in Jasper is about more than delicious food — it’s about being a light by creating opportunities, building relationships and being a positive influence in the community we serve.”
A Georgia native, Mike Holmes began his Chick-fil-A career in 1988 as a Business Consultant and became a local Owner-Operator in 1997. Throughout his tenure, spanning nearly three decades, Holmes operated three restaurants in Peachtree City, where he developed dozens of young leaders — including his son, who now serves as a local Owner- Operator in nearby Cleveland, Georgia.
Now, Mike and his wife, Cindy, are excited to make Jasper their new home. With the opening of
Chick-fil-A Jasper, they look forward to mentoring the next generation of Team Members, creating meaningful relationships and serving the Jasper community with care.
