Chick-fil-A Story
Mike began his Chick-fil-A journey during the pandemic, stepping into ownership at the 72nd & Sorensen location in Omaha, NE. In his 3 years in Omaha, he grew the store over two million dollars in sales and was Symbol of Success two years in a row.
In 2022, he relocated to 48th & O and started his journey in Lincoln. Since then, he’s led that restaurant through rapid growth, building a strong leadership pipeline and empowering his team to take ownership. His second location, North Star Crossing, opens in Fall 2025 and reflects the same commitment to excellence and people development. He’s known for giving team members real opportunities to lead, grow, and succeed.

Located off one of the busiest roads in Lincoln, this store will be a hub of hospitality and opportunity.
COMMUNITY IMPACT
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO MAKE CHICK-FIL-A A CAREER OR BECOME AN OWNER/OPERATOR?
“GRIT is so important; there will be times when NO will not be an answer. At the end of the day, your success is not judged on how you succeed, but on how you fail and then grow because of it”
-Mike Stice
