DeSoto residents will no longer have to travel to Cedar Hill or Dallas to buy their favorite chicken sandwich meal as Chick-fil-A is set to open a brand new location in the city.
Chick-fil-A DeSoto will be the 149th Chick-fil-A franchise location in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
The newest location for the popular chicken restaurant is located at 616 W. Belt Line Road in DeSoto.
The restaurant is open for dine-in, carry-out, and delivery from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
The new Chick-fil-A will also feature Mobile Thru, a fully dedicated drive-thru lane where guests can pick up orders placed ahead of time on the Chick-fil-A App.
The addition of Chick-fil-A in DeSoto will help bolster the local economy by bringing approximately 100 jobs to the community.
The restaurant is locally owned and operated by James Pruitt who will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business.
“I am excited to bring Chick-fil-A to DeSoto, where our commitment goes beyond serving delicious food; it’s about fostering a tight-knit culture of growth and development for our Team Members,” Pruitt expressed.
In celebration, Chick-fil-A DeSoto will recognize 100 local heroes making an impact in the DeSoto area and provide them with free Chick-fil-A entrées for a year.
Marking its newest location in DeSoto, Chick-fil-A, Inc. has donated $25,000 to Feeding America to support local hunger relief efforts of North Texas Food Bank.
The Restaurant will also participate in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table program, an initiative that redirects surplus food from the restaurant to local soup kitchens, shelters, food banks and nonprofits in need.
“Alongside my wife, Azucena, who will lead talent development, we are dedicated to not only creating great experiences for our Guests but also nurturing the potential within each member of our team. Together, we look forward to making a positive impact in DeSoto,” said Pruitt.
Congratulations to Mr. Pruitt on his investment into the city and hopefully, former students will take this initiative and hopefully, others will join this effort.
