Chick-fil-A Story
Brad’s father had a friend who was a local Owner/Operator for Chick-fil-A, which led Brad to be curious about the organization and the opportunity to franchise at a young age. His journey began as a Team Member at The Woodlands at College Park while working on attaining his degree at Texas A&M University.
Brad’s work ethic and leadership skills led him to Chick-fil-A Coporate’s Leadership Development Program (LDP), where he gained valuable experience overseeing grand openings and managing various restaurants across the country. In 2019, he became the Operator of Chick-fil-A The Parks at Arlington, where he successfully led and grew the business. Building on his success, he transitioned to Mansfield, Texas, opening the new Chick-fil-A Debbie Ln & Matlock Rd on December 1, 2022. The team was recently awarded the prestigious “Guardian of the Brand” for outstanding food safety practices and operational excellence in 2024.
