New Chick-fil-A To Open In Zephyrhills Thursday

ZEPHYRHILLS, FL — A new Chick-fil-A restaurant is slated to open for business in Zephyrhills on Thursday, July 29.

Scott Amole is the independent franchised owner/operator of Chick-fil-A Zephyrhills. Amole will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 100 full- and part-time team members, cultivating relationships with local organizations and neighboring businesses, and serving guests.

Chick-fil-A Zephyrhills is located at 7490 Gall Blvd., near the intersection of Pretty Pond Road, and will be open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

Chick-fil-A Zephyrhills will open for full dine-in, drive-thru and carry-out. Guests can take advantage of contactless ordering and payment through the free Chick-fil-A mobile app or through online ordering.

In place of the traditional Chick-fil-A First 100 Grand Opening celebration, Chick-fil-A Zephyrhills will be surprising 100 local heroes making an impact in Zephyrhills with free Chick-fil-A for a year.

Additionally, in honor of the new restaurant opening, Chick-fil-A will donate $25,000 to Feeding America. The funds will be distributed to partners within the greater Tampa area to aid in the fight against hunger.

Amole started his journey with Chick-fil-A as team member at a local restaurant in his home state of Florida, and was inspired to grow with the company after learning more about the restaurant's entrepreneurial spirit. After participating in Chick-fil-A’s Leadership Development Program and running restaurants in Florida as well as Colorado, Amole and his family are thrilled to return home to Florida and open Chick-fil-A Zephyrhills.

In his free time, Amole enjoys camping and going to the beach with his wife and his four children.

“My family and I are excited to be back in Florida to bring this new Chick-fil-A restaurant to the greater Tampa area,” said Amole. “I cannot wait to invest in my team members the same way my mentors at Chick-fil-A invested in me, and make a positive impact on the community of Zephyrhills.”
