Locally Owned and Operated
Chick-fil-A North Miami Beach Owner/Operator Elias Feliz immigrated to the U.S. from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, when he was eight years old. His family settled in Brooklyn, N.Y., where he lived until moving to South Florida eight years ago. Prior to beginning his Chick-fil-A journey, Feliz served in a variety of roles at JPMorgan Chase Bank, rising from personal banker to business relationship manager. After meeting the Operator of a Chick-fil-A restaurant in the Miami area, Feliz was inspired to make a career shift and pursue the opportunity to give back to his community as a Chick-fil-A Operator. In 2018, he was selected as the Operator of Chick-fil-A Pembroke Lakes Mall, where he served for three years. Feliz looks forward to continuing his career at Chick-fil-A North Miami Beach and hopes his journey from immigrant to business owner will help inspire others to pursue their dreams.
“One of my favorite things about being a Chick-fil-A Operator is the opportunity to give back,” said Feliz. “I would not be where I am today without the people who invested in me, and I’m honored to have the opportunity to pass that on by mentoring my Team Members and helping them develop their talents, so they can be successful no matter where life takes them.”
