NEW YORK – Upper West Siders get ready! The first Upper West Side Chick-fil-A restaurant in Manhattan will begin serving the community on Thursday, March 6. Chick-fil-A, Inc. selected Malcolm Brewer as the independent franchised local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A 98th & Columbus.
Located at 795 Columbus Ave., Chick-fil-A 98th & Columbus will be open for dine-in, carry-out and delivery from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday. This restaurant joins 16 other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving Manhattan.
Chick-fil-A’s franchise model is essential to how the restaurant serves others. Most Chick-fil-A restaurants are owned and operated by a single individual, which means Chick-fil-A’s local Owner-Operators are small business owners, not passive investors, who work in their restaurants side by side with their Team Members each day.
On the Upper West Side, Malcolm will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 90 full- and part-time Team Members, serving Guests, cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses, and tailoring philanthropic efforts to meet the Upper West Side community’s needs.
