ATLANTA, 2016-Aug-05 — /EPR Retail News/ — It’s official – Chick-fil-A is coming to the great city of Puyallup, Washington in early 2017! We are excited to serve our guests in the community next year and committed to the state of Washington with 8-10 restaurants planned in the next five years. More details on our first location at 104 39th Ave. SW and the local owner will be available soon. In the meantime, here’s a bit about us:

Our Food

  • Our menu items are made with fresh, simple ingredients right in our kitchens.
    • We freshly squeeze lemons for our three-ingredient lemonade (lemons, water, sugar).
    • Our creamy Milkshakes are hand-spun.
    • Our chicken is 100 percent pure breast meat (no fillers or additives), hand-fileted and hand-breaded every day in each restaurant’s kitchen.
    • We hand-chop and prepare all of our salads fresh daily.
  • We’re partnering with regional farmers and suppliers to source as many regionally-grown ingredients as possible:
    • Chick-fil-A currently sources all potatoes used to make hash browns and Waffle Potato Fries from the Columbia River Basin.
    • All of the apples used to supply Chick-fil-A’s West Region are grown in the Pacific Northwest.
  • In 2014, Chick-fil-A became the first quick-service restaurant to commit to serving only chicken raised without antibiotics in all of our restaurants within five years.

Our People

  • Chick-fil-A franchise Owner/Operators live and work in the community in which their restaurants are located, and are highly involved in the day-to-day operations, as they only oversee one or two locations.
  • Creating a happy and valuable workplace experience for team members is important to Chick-fil-A franchise Owner/Operators. In fact, Chick-fil-A was the only restaurant brand named to the Top 10 “Best Companies to Work For” by 24/7 Wall Street.
