SARALAND, Ala. (Feb. 5, 2026) – A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant will begin serving the Saraland community at its newest location on Thursday, Feb. 12, 2026 at 6 a.m. Chick-fil-A, Inc. selected Holly Johnson as the local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Saraland. 

To celebrate the opening, Johnson 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 inside the restaurant or in the drive-thru. 

Located at 1405-A Industrial Pkwy, Chick-fil-A Saraland will serve Guests Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., offering dine-in, drive-thru, carry-out, third-party delivery, mobile pick-up and Mobile Thru. Because Chick-fil-A restaurants are designed to serve the unique needs of each community, Chick-fil-A Saraland will also feature a play space to serve Guests with children. 

Locally Owned and Operated 
“There’s something special about welcoming Guests from across our community and having fun with cow costumes and giveaways,” said Holly Johnson. “These moments go beyond the food; they’re about creating memories, bringing people together and giving them a reason to laugh, celebrate and connect right here in our incredible town. I look forward to opening day and the many events Chick-fil-A Saraland will host in the future.” 

Johnson began her career with Chick-fil-A in 2008 as a Marketing Director at Chick-fil-A Daphne, initially seeking a meaningful way to re-enter the workforce after spending several years as a stay-at-home mom, following a prior corporate career. She quickly found more than a role, becoming known as “Chick-fil-A Holly,” developing a deep passion for the brand and creating exceptional service experiences within her community. In 2016, she was selected as the local Owner-Operator of a
Chick-fil-A Bel Air Mall, a role that allowed her to better serve the community. After nearly a decade of leadership there, Johnson is energized to bring that experience forward, channeling her passion for team development, community building and hospitality to a fast-growing community.  

Caring for the Saraland Community 
Johnson is committed to giving back to the Saraland community by:  

  • Celebrating the opening with a $25,000 donation from Chick-fil-A, Inc. to Feeding America in honor of the new restaurant. These funds will be distributed to partners in the greater Mobile area to aid in the fight against hunger. 
  • 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. 
  • Creating approximately 110 jobs.
