HR Director
Chick-fil-A at Shepherdstown Crossing
219 Gettysburg Pike
Mechanicsburg, PA 17055
Who We Are:
Everyone's job at Chick-fil-A is to serve. No matter our title or job description, our reason for coming to work is to generously share our time
and talents. Whether it's treating customers like friends, or serving our communities like neighbors, we believe kindness is a higher calling.
Our founder, Truett Cathy, made the decision to close on Sundays in 1946 when he opened his first restaurant in Hapeville, Georgia. Having
worked seven days a week in restaurants open 24 hours, Truett saw the importance of closing on Sundays so that he and his employees could set aside one day to rest and worship if they choose — a practice we uphold today.
In our kitchens, we try to focus on freshly prepared food crafted with quality ingredients. We serve chicken made from breast meat, breaded by
hand in-restaurant. Fresh produce is delivered to our kitchens several times a week. Salads are prepared throughout the day. Our regular Chick-fil-A® Lemonade is prepared daily with lemon juice, pure cane sugar and water.
“We should be about more than just selling chicken. We should be a part of our customers’ lives and the communities in which we serve.”
S. TRUETT CATHY 1921—2014
For millions of people, a nourishing meal is a critical need. That’s why we created the Chick-fil-A Shared Table® program, an initiative to
help restaurant Operators fight hunger in their local communities. Today, more than 1,300 Chick-fil-A restaurants across 47 states donate surplus food to local soup kitchens, shelters and nonprofits through Chick-fil-A Shared Table, and that number continues to grow each year. To date, we have donated more than 15 million meals to serve those in need.
