Locally Owned and Operated
As full-time, hands-on leaders in their restaurants and communities, Chick-fil-A Owner/Operators proudly reside in the communities in which they serve.
In San Jose, Jones will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 150 full- and part-time Team Members, serving guests and cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses.
An Atlanta native, eating Chick-fil-A was a staple growing up for Jones, including enjoying Chick-fil-A as a postgame meal during his years as a collegiate football player. Jones graduated from Georgia State University in 2013 with a degree in marketing, and soon after, he began his Chick-fil-A career as an assistant manager in Macon, Ga. In 2017, Jones and his wife, Kennsington, relocated to Las Vegas where he worked for an area Chick-fil-A before working his way through Chick-fil-A’s Leadership Development Program. Together, they spent the next two and a half years traveling the West Coast assisting with new restaurant openings and further establishing Chick-fil-A in the region.
“I am extremely grateful for the chance to positively impact the Silver Creek Valley-area and beyond,” said Jones. “My wife and I are thrilled by the endless opportunities to care for our guests, Team Members, and the community.”
Caring for the San Jose Community
In honor of the opening, Chick-fil-A, Inc. will donate $25,000 to Feeding America on behalf of the new restaurant. These funds will be distributed to partners in the greater San Jose area to aid in the fight against hunger.
Team Member Investment
Chick-fil-A Operators are committed to hiring, developing and retaining top talent and providing a positive work environment for people of all ages and backgrounds. Team Members have opportunities for flexible work hours and leadership growth, competitive pay and benefits, hands-on training and mentoring and the chance to apply for scholarships to support their continuing education.
Delicious Food; Outstanding Customer Service
Chick-fil-A is known for serving customers great-tasting food made with high-quality ingredients, including the original Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich. Made with a real, whole, boneless breast of chicken with no added fillers, the breaded chicken is pressure cooked in fully-refined peanut oil. Chick-fil-A was one of the first in the industry to eliminate chicken raised with antibiotics to ensure guests have an option for high-quality food on the go.
To complement the great-tasting chicken, fresh produce is delivered to Chick-fil-A restaurants up to six times a week for the best quality and flavor. The fresh ingredients are raised and grown by farmers who share the company's elevated quality and safety standards, so guests feel good about their meal.
