Chick-fil-A Announces New Van Buren Restaurant, Opening
Oct. 3
Sept. 30, 2024
Restaurant Brings Approximately 100 Full- and Part-Time Jobs to Community, Honors 100 Local Heroes with Free Chick-fil-A Entrées for a Year
VAN BUREN, Ark. (Sept. 30, 2024) – A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant will begin serving the Van Buren community on Thursday, Oct. 3, 2024. Chick-fil-A, Inc. has selected Brittany Cook as the independent franchised local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Van Buren.
Located at 1929 Fayetteville Road, Chick-fil-A Van Buren will be open for dine-in, drive-thru and carry-out from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. The new restaurant will also feature
Mobile Thru, a fully dedicated lane in the drive-thru where Guests can pick up orders placed on the Chick-fil-A App.
The Van Buren restaurant joins nine other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the wider Northwest Arkansas market.
Locally Owned and Operated
Chick-fil-A’s franchise model is essential to how the restaurant serves others. Most Chick-fil-A restaurants are owned and operated by a single individual, which means Chick-fil-A’s local Owner-Operators are small business owners, not passive investors, who work in their restaurants side by side with their Team Members each day.
In Van Buren, Cook will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 100 full- and part-time Team Members, serving Guests, cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses, and tailoring philanthropic efforts to meet the Van Buren community’s needs.
Raised in Mena, Arkansas, Cook moved to Georgia after college to serve in student ministry, where she realized the value of having a positive impact on young peoples’ lives. While she enjoyed this role, Cook desired a career change that would allow her to further utilize and expand her skills.
In 2017, Cook joined a Chick-fil-A restaurant in LaGrange, Georgia as a marketing director under local Owner-Operator Josh Sells. Her passion for leadership quickly grew, and after more than four years in various leadership roles, she joined the Chick-fil-A® Leadership Development Program in 2021.
Now, Cook is excited to return to Arkansas as the local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Van Buren. She brings her experience and dedication back to her home state, where she is committed to building strong relationships with her team and serving the Van Buren community.
“I am truly honored to have the opportunity to return to Arkansas and serve the Van Buren community,” said Cook. “I look forward to creating a welcoming environment where our Guests can experience excellent service and genuine hospitality. Our team is excited, and we’re committed to making a positive impact on our community and building strong, lasting relationships.”
Caring for the Van Buren Community
The Chick-fil-A business is built to add positive impact beyond profit, including giving back to local communities. Chick-fil-A local Owner-Operators are empowered to support the neighborhoods they serve with a key focus on hunger, education and specific community needs.
In celebration of the opening, Chick-fil-A, Inc. has donated $25,000 to Feeding America in honor of the new restaurant. These funds will be distributed to partners in the greater Fort Smith area to aid in the fight against hunger.
Cook’s restaurant will plan to participate in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table® program, an initiative that redirects surplus food from the restaurant to local soup kitchens, shelters, food banks and nonprofits in need. To date, more than 30 million meals have been created from Chick-fil-A Shared Table donations from over 2,200 Chick-fil-A restaurants throughout the U.S. and Canada.
In addition, Chick-fil-A Van Buren is recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the Van Buren area by providing them with free Chick-fil-A entrées for a year.
Team Member Investment
Chick-fil-A local Owner-Operators strive to hire, develop and retain top talent, helping future leaders optimize their skills and providing pathways for personal and professional development in a welcoming, purpose-driven environment. A career at Chick-fil-A offers a wide range of benefits, including hands-on training and mentoring, competitive pay and benefits, the chance to apply for scholarships to support continued education, and the flexibility to thrive in and outside of work.
