New Chick Fil A set to open Dec. 1 in Mansfield

A new Chick-fil-A restaurant will begin serving the Mansfield community Dec. 1. Chick-fil-A, Inc. has selected Brad Breedlove as the independent franchised owner/operator of Chick-fil-A at Debbie Lane and Matlock Road.

Located at 1570 E. Debbie Lane, Chick-fil-A will be open for dine-in, drive-thru and carry-out from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Guests of Chick-fil-A can place an order for pickup or dine-in on the Chick-fil-A App or online.  

The new restaurant joins more than 135 other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the wider Dallas-Fort Worth market.

As full-time, hands-on leaders in their restaurants and communities, Chick-fil-A Owner/Operators reside in the communities in which they serve.

In Mansfield, Breedlove will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 100 full- and part-time team members, serving guests and cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses.

Breedlove is a native of Plano, and began his career with Chick-fil-A in 2012 after graduating from Texas A&M University. Breedlove served as a team member at Chick-fil-A The Woodlands at College Park and later became the restaurant’s supervisor. Looking to grow as a leader, Breedlove participated in the Chick-fil-A Leadership Development Program, where he served as a grand opening supervisor and interim manager for various Chick-fil-A locations across the country. In 2019, Breedlove was selected as the operator for Chick-fil-A The Parks at Arlington; now, he is excited to move a little closer to home, alongside his wife, Cara, and their two daughters, and open the doors at Chick-fil-A Debbie Ln & Matlock Rd.

“I am eager to plant roots in Mansfield and get to know my team members,” Breedlove said. “I hope to make the community stronger by building relationships and a business that will leave a positive impact on each guest we meet.”

In honor of the opening, Chick-fil-A, Inc. will donate $25,000 to Feeding America on behalf of the new restaurant. These funds will be distributed to partners in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area to aid in the fight against hunger.

In addition, Chick-fil-A Debbie Ln & Matlock Rd is recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the Mansfield area by providing them with free Chick-fil-A meals for a year.  

Chick-fil-A operators are committed to hiring, developing and retaining top talent and providing a positive work environment for people of all ages and backgrounds. Team members have opportunities for flexible work hours and leadership growth, competitive pay and benefits, hands-on training and mentoring and the chance to apply for scholarships to support their continuing education.
