Chick-Fil-A Opening New Restaurant In San Diego

SAN DIEGO, CA — A new Chick-fil-A is opening its doors next week in San Diego.

Chick-fil-A Liberty Station will open March 6 for dine-in, carry-out, curbside pick-up and delivery. The new location joins more than 20 other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the San Diego region.

"The vision for our new restaurant is to provide a meaningful employment experience and unmatched care for our community, both within our four walls and beyond," owner-operator Matt Hughes said. "We find joy in going the extra mile to serve the San Diego community, and I'm excited and humbled to expand this vision and the opportunities we can provide with Chick-fil-A Liberty Station."

Hughes, who grew up in the Atlanta area, started his career with Chick-fil-A as a team member in high school. He later joined the Chick-fil-A Leadership Development Program, where he supported several restaurant openings on the West Coast.

Hughes opened San Diego's first Chick-fil-A in 2006 on Sports Arena Boulevard.

In celebration of the opening, the fast food restaurant chain donated $25,000 to Feeding San Diego to support local hunger relief efforts.

In addition, the location will participate in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table program, an initiative that redirects surplus food from the restaurant to local soup kitchens, shelters, food banks and nonprofits in need.

The restaurant will also recognize 100 local heroes making an impact in the San Diego area by providing them with free Chick-fil-A entrées for a year, according to the company.

Chick-fil-A Liberty Station will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday at 2401 Truxtun Road, Suite 102, in San Diego.
