BARRINGTON, N.J. (June 24, 2021) – A new Chick-fil-A restaurant is slated to open for business in Barrington on Tuesday, June 29. Chick-fil-A®, Inc. has selected Bill Diaco as the independent, franchised Owner/Operator of Chick-fil-A Barrington. Bill Diaco will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 120 full- and part-time Team Members, cultivating relationships with local organizations and neighboring businesses, and serving guests. Chick-fil-A Barrington is located at 301 White Horse Pike, off I-295 and the New Jersey Turnpike, and will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
Chick-fil-A remains committed to serving guests safely. To limit contact between Team Members and guests, Chick-fil-A Barrington will open for drive-thru and mobile pick-up only at this time.

Additionally, in honor of the new restaurant opening, Chick-fil-A will donate $25,000 to Feeding America. The funds will be distributed to partners within the greater Barrington area to aid in the fight against hunger.
Locally Owned and Operated
Driven by a lifelong desire to serve others, Bill Diaco had the dream of owning and operating his own restaurant since he was a young man. Spending most of his life in New Jersey, Diaco graduated from Paul VI High School in Haddonfield and earned degrees from both Rutgers University and Rowan University. Diaco spent the first 20 years of his post-graduate career fine-tuning his sales, management, operations, and leadership development skills, while serving in a number of roles within the pharmaceutical industry.
After meeting a Chick-fil-A Owner/Operator of a local restaurant, Diaco was inspired by not only the man’s journey with Chick-fil-A but the brand’s history of service, purpose, cluture and values. From there, Diaco knew it was time to pursue his vision of owning his own restaurant by becoming a Chick-fil-A Owner/Operator. In 2016, Diaco’s dream became reality when he opened Chick-fil-A Audubon Crossings. Today, Diaco will continue to serve as Operator of Chick-fil-A Audubon Crossings while simultaneously leading his new team at Chick-fil-A Barrington.
“I hope my story can inspire others to chase their dreams, no matter where they are in life or their career,” said Diaco. “I am thrilled to expand Chick-fil-A’s reach in the place I’ve called home for most of my life and look forward to making this restaurant a cornerstone of the community.”
