Here at Chick-fil-A Lacey the team member role is more than just a job, it's an opportunity. In addition to working directly for an independent Local Franchise Owner, you gain life experience that goes far beyond just serving a great product in a friendly environment. We pride ourselves on our ability to help each of our team members use their experience working with us to accomplish their life's goals.

Founded in 1946 by S. Truett Cathy when he opened his first restaurant, the Dwarf Grill, in Hapeville, GA, Chick-fil-A has grown to become one of the most recognized brands in the quick service restaurant industry and has been named the #1 restaurant brand in 2023 by the American Customer Satisfaction Index for several years in a row.

Chick-fil-A is known for its menu of fresh, hand-crafted food and offers a variety of options for guests. Signature items include a hand-breaded, boneless chicken breast sandwich, Waffle Potato Fries and hand-spun milkshakes. Chick-fil-A Lacey uses only premium ingredients and makes many of its menu items from scratch in the restaurant each day, including hand-chopped salads.

Chick-fil-A Lacey partners with regional farmers and suppliers to source as many locally- and regionally-grown ingredients as possible. In fact, the restaurant sources all of its bread from Portland-based Franz Bakery, all of its potatoes used to make hash browns and Waffle Potato Fries from the Columbia River Basin - with Chick-fil-A buying more than 438 million pounds of potatoes last year alone. Additionally, all of the apples used to supply Chick-fil-A's West Region restaurants are grown in the Pacific Northwest, sourcing more than 2.25 million pounds of apples from the region each year.

At Chick-fil-A Lacey, we believe in providing our guests the best Restaurant experience we can. Our team prides itself on providing great tasting food and a comfortable environment in which to enjoy it. We're committed to providing Second Mile Service and we strive to exceed our guest's expectations.

We are focused each and every day on becoming the most caring company in Thurston County and are looking for hard-working, friendly, enthusiastic people who enjoy serving others to help us get there!

Working at a Chick-fil-A restaurant is more than a job - it's an opportunity for teamwork and leadership development in a positive, people-focused environment. Most Chick-fil-A restaurants are locally owned and operated by independent, franchised Operators who invest in the future of their Team Members and give back to their communities.
