Restaurant Celebrates with Cows Eat Free Offer on Opening Day and $25,000 Donation to Address Food Insecurity 

CINCINNATI (Oct. 9, 2025) – A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant will begin serving Cincinnati at its newest location on Thursday, Oct. 16, 2025, at 6:30 a.m., creating approximately 75 jobs. Chick-fil-A, Inc. selected Roland Rubio as the local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Red Bank Village, marking his second restaurant in the community.  

To celebrate the restaurant opening, Rubio and team are calling on the community to show their spots on opening day! Whether it’s a full cow suit or a simple cow-spotted accessory, Guests of all ages are invited to join the fun. Anyone who visits the restaurant on opening day dressed in cow attire can redeem one free entrée* or kid’s meal in the drive-thru. Unfortunately, mobile orders are not eligible. 

Located at 3986 Red Bank Road, Chick-fil-A Red Bank Village will serve Guests Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. offering  drive-thru, carry-out, third-party, catering and Mobile Thru. Designed for speed and efficiency, this drive thru-focused location offers added convenience to serve Guests through its drive-thru and a walk-up window for carry-out, along with outdoor patio seating. 

Locally Owned and Operated
“Since opening my first restaurant in 2017, I’ve focused on building something bigger than a business, creating a culture of care where Team Members have the runway to grow, lead and realize their potential,” said Rubio. “The opportunity to open a second restaurant, the first drive-thru focused location in Ohio, let’s us serve the community in an entirely new way. It’s an exciting opportunity to expand our impact, reach even more people and continue building something meaningful in Cincinnati.” 

At Rubio’s other location, Chick-fil-A Oakley Station, Rubio has seen Team Members achieve personal and professional milestones, from high school students earning their first paycheck to alumni who have gone on to law school, medical school and other career paths. He has built a culture centered on opportunity and care, one that celebrates Chick-fil-A Remarkable Futures™ Scholarships recipients and offers eligible Team Members access to free online college.  For Rubio, investing in his team creates opportunities to serve Guests with excellence and that same spirit of care.  

Caring for the Cincinnati Community
Rubio is committed to giving back to the Cincinnati community by:

  • Celebrating the opening with a $25,000 donation from Chick-fil-A, Inc. to support local hunger relief efforts of Freestore Foodbank, a Feeding America partner food bank, in honor of the new restaurant.
  • Participating in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table® program, which redirects surplus food to local nonprofits, helping to create over 42 million meals nationwide to date.
