New Clarksville Chick-fil-A Opening May 17 Now Hiring

CLARKSVILLE, Md. (April 19, 2018) –Chick-fil-A has named Nick Jones franchise owner of the chain’s newest metro-Baltimore restaurant in Clarksville as the hiring of up to 100 new team members begins in preparation for the May 17 grand opening.

When the Clarksville Chick-fil-A opens at 6395 Ten Oaks Rd. on May 17, it will bring full circle Jones’ Chick-fil-A career which began when he was hired as a team member at a southern Maryland location at age 15. He continued to work there throughout high school and college, earning a Chick-fil-A Leadership Scholarship while attending University of Maryland University College where he earned a degree in business administration.

During his years working as a team member, Jones realized the Chick-fil-A franchise operator role fit his entrepreneurial goal of owning a business where he could have a positive impact on his employees, customers and community. He joined Chick-fil-A’s corporate staff and worked as an interim manager, mostly on the West Coast, before being selected to operate his own restaurant in Orange County, California. As franchise owner there for six years, Jones won the Symbol of Success, the chain’s highest award for its operators, three times. He and his family are excited to return to his native Maryland and open the doors in Clarksville.

Clarksville’s Chick-fil-A restaurant will include drive-thru service featuring two ordering lanes merging into a single lane for pickup as well as a dedicated parking space for Chick-fli-A One mobile ordering pickup. With dining room seating for 130 and additional patio seating for 16, the restaurant includes an indoor children’s playground and will be open Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m., offering a full breakfast menu until 10:30 a.m.

Jones has begun hiring as many as 100 team members as he builds his Clarksville staff. He is filling full-time and part-time positions in all areas of the restaurant, including leadership development, hospitality, catering, training and marketing. Each position will include benefits such as scholarships for continuing education. In addition, Chick-fil-A restaurant team members appreciate having Sundays off, flexible schedules, and the family atmosphere fostered at the restaurant.

Named one of the “best places to work” by Glassdoor, Chick-fil-A is known for hiring, developing and retaining talent, offering a supportive workplace with opportunities for leadership development, respect for work-life balance and competitive wages.

Chick-fil-A team members are eligible for the chain’s initiative, Remarkable Futures, which provides $4.9 million in annual scholarships. Ranging from $2,500 to $25,000, the scholarships are based on leadership, community involvement and academic achievement. Over the years, Chick-fil-A, which employs more than 75,000 people through corporate positions and franchised locations, has provided almost $38 million to help pay for college.
