Locally Owned and Operated
Chick-fil-A has selected Ricardo Ortiz as the new Owner/Operator of Chick-fil-A Hwy 215 & Nuevo Road. A Chick-fil-A veteran, Ortiz began his career with Chick-fil-A at age 15, working as a restaurant Team Member. For the past two decades, Ortiz turned his first job into a career by working his way up from Back of House Operations to Operator of his first restaurant, Chick-fil-A Hwy 215 & Nuevo Road. Ortiz says he credits the hard work and determination he’s learned throughout this professional career to Chick-fil-A. He believes the company helped him learn excellent hospitality skills and gave him the tools he needed to grow into a stand out leader over the past 16 years.
A native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Ortiz is looking forward to serving the Perris community at his new Chick-fil-A restaurant. Ortiz enjoys working out, boxing, and playing an occasional game of recreational soccer, and you can even catch him on the waves or the slopes wake-boarding and snowboarding in his free time.
“Chick-fil-A has changed my life from the moment I became a Team Member 16 years ago,” said Ortiz. “As the franchise owner of my first Chick-fil-A restaurant, I want to use my story to inspire my Team Members and make a positive impact on the Perris community.”
