Locally Owned and Operated
Chick-fil-A North Brunswick is locally owned and operated by Carlos Colon. Originally from Puerto Rico, Colon’s first Chick-fil-A experience was during a vacation in Orlanda, Florida, where his love for the Chick-fil-A® Nuggets and Chick-fil-A Waffle Potato Fries® was quickly born. That wasn’t the only love Colon found at Chick-fil-A, though. Prior to beginning his career at the restaurant, he met his wife, Erica, over a lunch with mutual friends at a Chick-fil-A in Virginia. After camping out and participating in numerous Chick-fil-A First 100™ events, he began a Chick-fil-A career, which includes time as a Team Member, an interim manager and as Operator of Chick-fil-A Woodbridge Center in New Jersey. Alongside his wife and their three children, Colon is excited to channel this experience with the opening of Chick-fil-A North Brunswick and serve his community with great food and genuine hospitality.
“My interest in working at Chick-fil-A was piqued when Chick-fil-A, Inc.’s vice president of high performance leadership, spoke at my university, and I knew I wanted to be a part of this high-energy company and take part in helping create defining moments to those we come in contact with,” said Colon. “I’m excited to bring the Chick-fil-A experience to my fellow neighbors.”
