Locally Owned and Operated
“Some of my most meaningful experiences with Chick-fil-A have been shaped by the people and relationships I’ve built along the way, and I’m excited to create that same sense of connection here in Fargo,” said Zeller. “My hope is that our restaurant becomes a place where people feel welcome and enjoy spending time together, whether they’re serving alongside us as a Team Member, sharing a meal with family or catching up with a friend.”
Zeller began his Chick-fil-A journey in 2013 as a Team Member at his hometown restaurant in Florida. Now, more than a decade later, he looks forward to bringing the hospitality that first drew him to Chick-fil-A to Guests and Team Members at Chick-fil-A Veterans & 23rd. As Chick-fil-A continues to grow in Fargo, Zeller is eager to make the new restaurant a welcoming place for both longtime Guests and those experiencing Chick-fil-A for the first time.
