Chick-fil-A Norterra is one of five new locally owned and operated Chick-fil-A restaurants coming to the Greater Phoenix area this year, as well as one licensed location. The Norterra restaurant joins 37 other Chick-fil-A restaurants currently 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 Norterra, Myles 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. 

Myles began his career with Chick-fil-A in 1997 as a Team Member in Peachtree City, Georgia. Throughout his time as a Team Member, Myles exemplified outstanding teamwork and leadership skills, which led to his recognition as one of the recipients of Chick-fil-A’s Remarkable Futures Scholarship. Laddering success and passions, Myles became an Operator in 2007 at a restaurant in the Deer Valley neighborhood of Phoenix, which he will continue to operate in addition to Chick-fil-A Norterra.

“My wife, Vicki, and I are honored to have been selected to operate a second Chick-fil-A restaurant, especially as the brand gears up to celebrate 20 years in the Phoenix market,” said Myles. “We have grown strong roots in the community over the last 15 years, and I’m so looking forward to growing even stronger community ties with the Norterra restaurant opening in my own backyard.”

Caring for the Norterra 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 Phoenix area to aid in the fight against hunger. 
 
In addition, Chick-fil-A Norterra is recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the Norterra community by providing them with free Chick-fil-A entrées for a year. 
 
Myles’ 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 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.
