Locally Owned and Operated
“Growing up, I never imagined opportunities like this could be within reach, so becoming a Chick-fil-A local Owner-Operator is truly a dream come true,” said Leon in a statement. “I’m incredibly grateful for the journey that brought me here. As I look ahead, I’m excited to lead my team by creating opportunities for them to grow and fostering a culture built on excellence and care.”
Raised in Santa Ana, Leon is a proud first-generation Mexican American. Leon, who attended California State University, Dominguez Hills, began her Chick-fil-A journey in 2012 while searching for a summer job after high school. Drawn to Chick-fil-A’s welcoming culture, she quickly discovered the profound influence a dedicated Operator can have on both individuals and teams. Inspired by that example, Leon set her sights on becoming an Operator herself with a mission to make a meaningful difference in her community. After completing the Chick-fil-A Leadership Development Program, she’s returning home to the place that shaped her, eager to empower her team and cultivate the next generation of leaders.
Caring for the Bellflower Community
Leon is committed to giving back to the Bellflower community by:
- Celebrating the opening with a $25,000 donation from Chick-fil-A, Inc. to support local hunger relief efforts of Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, a Feeding America partner food bank, in honor of the new restaurant.
- Participating in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table program, which redirects surplus food to local nonprofits, helping to create over 42 million meals nationwide to date.
- Creating approximately 100 jobs in the Bellflower community.
