Locally Owned and Operated
Chick-fil-A Spanish Village is locally owned and operated by Kyle Gutteridge. Growing up in Georgia, Chick-fil-A was a huge part of Gutteridge’s everyday life, with most of his family working for Chick-fil-A in various capacities over the years. Gutteridge’s parents worked at Chick-fil-A’s headquarters in Atlanta, and his brother currently serves as the Operator of Chick-fil-A Northgate in Colorado Springs, Colo. Eager to pursue a similar career path, Gutteridge worked as a Chick-fil-A restaurant Team Member throughout high school and college. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Finance and Human Resources from Auburn University in Auburn, Ala., while working as the Chick-fil-A restaurant Manager in the Auburn Mall. During this time, he was awarded a Remarkable Futures Scholarship from Chick-fil-A, Inc. to go toward his college tuition. Upon graduating, Gutteridge returned home to Atlanta and continued working at the restaurant level to develop his business and leadership skills.
After more than nine years of hard work, Gutteridge was thrilled to be selected as the Operator of Chick-fil-A Sooner Mall in Norman, Okla. During his time in Norman, Gutteridge developed a passion for mentoring his Team Members and serving guests with Chick-fil-A’s signature hospitality. Now, Gutteridge is excited to continue his career with Chick-fil-A in Dallas and bring the same welcoming atmosphere to Chick-fil-A Spanish Village.
“With the opening of Chick-fil-A Spanish Village, I look forward to building new relationships and making a positive impact on our Team Members and guests,” said Gutteridge. “I am thrilled to welcome our neighbors to this new restaurant and will work to be a light in the Dallas community.”
