Chick-fil-A is ready to serve Brandon at its newest location, which opened on May 1, creating approximately 100 jobs. Chick-fil-A Inc. selected Jeff Jones as the local owner-operator of Chick-fil-A W. Brandon Blvd., marking his second restaurant in the community.
Located at 101 S. Hilltop Rd., the new restaurant is open for drive-through, carry-out and delivery from 6:30 a.m.-10 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Designed for speed and efficiency, this drive-through-focused location offers added convenience to serve Guests through its drive-through and a walk-up window for carry-out.
“It’s an absolute honor to continue serving the community that my family and I have proudly called home for over two decades,” Jones said. “This journey wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering support of our incredible team members and the amazing people in this community. We’re excited to keep serving the same care, quality food, and warm hospitality to current and new guests.”
A Clearwater native, Jones began his Chick-fil-A in 2000 and became a local owner-operator the following year.
For the past 25 years, Jones has built meaningful connections, whether mentoring team members, getting to know guests or finding ways to give back to the community.
