Who We Are

At Chick-fil-A Collier Township, we're not just serving meals — we're developing leaders who serve others. We operate a multi-million dollar business with a 100+ person team and a culture built on excellence, teamwork, and growth.

Our Leadership Development Program (LDP) is built for recent college graduates ready to fast-track their business and leadership careers. You'll lead people, manage real business results, and learn every aspect of how a thriving organization operates — all while earning a fully funded MBA through our partnership with Point University.

Why This Role Matters

Most entry-level jobs talk about leadership. This one teaches it.

From your first month, you'll lead teams, make business decisions, and rotate through every major function — Operations, HR, Finance, and Marketing. By the end of this 18–24 month program, you'll be equipped to step into a Director-level leadership role or pursue Chick-fil-A Operator candidacy.

And while you're learning in the restaurant, you can also be learning in the classroom — tuition-free. Chick-fil-A Collier Township covers 100% of your online tuition with Point University, meaning you can graduate with an MBA and zero tuition debt in about two years.
