DUBLIN, Ga. — Dublin is getting a new Chick-fil-A, according to a press release from the company.
The restaurant will open on Thursday, April 4 at 2242 US Highway 441 South.
Chick-fil-A, Inc. has selected David Roberts as the independent franchised local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A South Dublin.
Chick-fil-A South Dublin will be open for dine-in, drive-thru, carry-out and delivery from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
The South Dublin restaurant joins 14 other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the wider Macon market.
The press release says most Chick-fil-A restaurants are owned by a single individual, "which means Chick-fil-A’s local Owner-Operators are small business owners, not passive investors, who work in their restaurants side by side with their Team Members each day."
In Dublin, Roberts will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, "including employing approximately 120 full and part-time Team Members, serving guests, cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses, and tailoring philanthropic efforts to meet the Dublin community’s needs."
Roberts is a Georgia native and has served the Dublin community for more than 28 years as the local Owner-Operator of nearby Chick-fil-A Dublin. Prior to his career with Chick-fil-A, Roberts worked for the U.S. Navy’s submarine defense and later became an entrepreneur, opening a restaurant in with his wife, Deeni.
“I’m blessed with the opportunity to influence more people with the opening of Chick-fil-A South Dublin,” Roberts said. “Our location will serve Guests traveling near and far, and our Team Members are ready to welcome them into the restaurant. We hope to create an environment that feels like a home away from home.”
In celebration of the opening, Chick-fil-A, Inc. has donated $25,000 to Feeding America in honor of the new restaurant. These funds will be distributed to partners in the greater Macon area to aid in the fight against hunger.
In addition, Chick-fil-A South Dublin is recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the Dublin area by providing them with free Chick-fil-A entrées for a year.
