Exciting News for Oxford: Chick-fil-A Set to Open Its Doors
Oxford, Mississippi, is welcoming a new addition to its restaurant scene as the latest Chick-fil-A location is set to open on Tuesday. This highly anticipated opening will mark the second Chick-fil-A to be owned by local resident Lance Reed, bringing a fresh option for residents and visitors alike.
Location and Hours
The new Chick-fil-A East Oxford is conveniently situated at 800 Sisk Avenue. The restaurant will be open for both dine-in and carry-out customers from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. from Monday to Saturday. For those in a hurry, the drive-thru will stay open until 10 p.m. on the same days, providing added convenience for early risers and late-night diners.
Innovative Touches
One interesting feature of the new location is its Mobile Thru option. This dedicated lane in the drive-thru will allow guests to pick up their orders placed via the Chick-fil-A app, making it easier than ever to get Quick service without leaving the car.
A Local Owner’s Journey
Lance Reed has a remarkable background that led him to this venture. Before entering the restaurant world, he dedicated years to a ministry focused on charitable efforts. Although he was initially uncertain about becoming an entrepreneur, Reed soon realized he could continue to give back to the community in a new way through Chick-fil-A.
With 15 years of experience under his belt as the owner-operator of the Chick-fil-A on West Jackson Avenue, Reed is excited about the opportunity to expand his reach and service. “Having the opportunity to bring the first Chick-fil-A to this community has been nothing short of a gift,” he states. “In the last 15 years, my Team Members and I have had the privilege of building strong relationships while aiming to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.”
A Celebration of Community
In celebration of the new opening, Chick-fil-A, Inc. has donated $25,000 to Feeding America. This donation aims to assist local partners in the greater Memphis area in their fight against hunger. Moreover, Reed’s restaurant plans to participate in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table program. This initiative redistributes surplus food from the restaurant to local soup kitchens, shelters, and food banks—a system that has provided over 25 million meals since its inception.
Honoring Local Heroes
As part of its opening celebrations, Chick-fil-A East Oxford is set to recognize 100 local heroes. These individuals, who have made significant contributions to the Oxford community, will receive free Chick-fil-A entrées for a year as a token of appreciation for their hard work.
Looking Ahead
Reed is looking forward to introducing community favorites, notably the third annual Princess Ball. This cherished event invites fathers and daughters in the Oxford area to create lasting memories together, highlighting the restaurant’s commitment to family and community values.
