Guests of all ages are encouraged to celebrate the brand’s iconic Chick-fil-A Cows, featured in commercials and billboards.
Caring for the Community
Chick-fil-A is marking the opening by supporting local hunger relief initiatives and nonprofit partnerships. Through the Shared Table program, the restaurant will donate surplus food to local hunger relief organizations. A donation of $25,000 will be made to Feeding America, which will be further distributed to address hunger issues in the greater New York area.
Chick-fil-A is known for serving warmth and memorable experiences. For smooth operations and maintenance of the same standards at each location, the brand chooses each owner-operator carefully. The brand’s beloved cow mascots remain a central part of its marketing strategy. Despite its national footprint, Chick-fil-A continues to invest in local communities through nonprofit partnerships.
