Costa Mesa Welcomes New Chick-fil-A with Open Arms
Costa Mesa is buzzing with excitement as a brand-new Chick-fil-A opened its doors on April 3, 2023! Located at 1670 Newport Boulevard, right at the busy intersection of 17th Street, this new restaurant is set to be a hub for delicious food and community spirit.
A Grand Celebration for a Grand Opening
The grand opening ceremony was a joyful affair, filled with smiling faces and happy chatter. Friends and family of the owner, Justin Van Schoick, gathered to celebrate this new chapter in the Costa Mesa dining scene. Van Schoick isn’t a newcomer to the Chick-fil-A family; he already runs another location on Harbor Boulevard in the same city. With the addition of this new spot, he’s ready to spread even more cheer and tasty meals in the community.
Creating Job Opportunities for Locals
This shiny new Chick-fil-A is more than just a place to grab a quick bite; it’s also a source of employment! The restaurant is expected to create 100 jobs for the locals, something that is sure to be welcomed by many eager job seekers in the area.
Honoring Local Heroes
In a heartwarming gesture of community appreciation, Van Schoick is giving away free Chick-fil-A meals for a year to 100 local heroes. Half of these free meals will be dedicated to the incredible volunteers of the local nonprofit organization, Let’s Be Kind, which was founded by Rebekah Robeck and her mother, Cristina. This is a fantastic way to give back to those who give so much to the community!
Giving Back: A Commitment to Charity
Chick-fil-A is also stepping up its commitment to charity with a generous donation of $25,000 to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County, which will support those in need. Additionally, the new Newport Boulevard restaurant is all set to participate in the Shared Table program, ensuring that excess food is redirected to local shelters and food banks. It’s all about making a difference where it matters most!
A Journey to Success
Van Schoick’s story is one of determination and passion. His journey into the Chick-fil-A franchise began back in 2013 when a high school friend introduced him to the inner workings of the restaurant. Initially, he worked in construction, but he transitioned into the restaurant industry, where he found his true calling. The opening of this new franchise marks his second location in Costa Mesa, showcasing his dedication to enhancing customer hospitality.
Building a Community-Oriented Atmosphere
At the heart of the new Chick-fil-A is a desire to create a community-oriented atmosphere. Van Schoick envisions his restaurant as a place where guests feel like it’s their own space to enjoy and relax. His commitment to excellent service and warm hospitality promises a dining experience that is not only delicious but also feels like home.
