Locally Owned and Operated
Chick-fil-A US 17 at Hwy 22 is locally owned and operated by Jeff Cash. Originally from North Carolina, Cash started his career with Chick-fil-A in Raleigh shortly after graduating from Belmont University. While working as a restaurant Team Member, Cash was inspired by Chick-fil-A’s welcoming atmosphere and career growth opportunities. After learning the ins and outs of the business under the mentorship of the restaurant’s Operator, Cash moved to Louisville, Ky., to become an Interim Manager. As a result of his hard work and dedication, Cash was selected to return home to North Carolina and become the Operator of Chick-fil-A Greenville Mall in 2011. After serving the Greenville community for four years, he was thrilled to move to Myrtle Beach to become the Owner/Operator of Chick-fil-A North Myrtle Beach. Alongside his wife, Brooke, and their four children, Cash looks forward to serving the Myrtle Beach community as the Operator of both Chick-fil-A US 17 at Hwy 22 and Chick-fil-A North Myrtle Beach.
“My family and I have called Myrtle Beach our home for the last six years, and we are humbled to have the opportunity to extend our impact in the community,” said Cash. “I am excited to mentor our Team Members and build new relationships with guests, serving them great-tasting food in a welcoming environment.”
