A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant will begin serving the Carrollton community at its newest location on Friday, Jan. 9, 2026 at 6:00 a.m., creating approximately 125 jobs. Chick-fil-A, Inc. selected David Daniels to be the local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A North Carrollton, marking Daniels’s third restaurant in the community.
Located at 1302 US Highway 27 N, Chick-fil-A North Carrollton will serve Guests Monday through Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., offering dine-in, drive-thru, carry-out, third-party delivery and Mobile Thru. Because Chick-fil-A restaurants are designed to serve the unique needs of each community, Chick-fil-A North Carrollton will also feature a playground to serve Guests with children.
Locally Owned and Operated
“I started with Chick-fil-A as a teenager washing dishes, and I could never have imagined the journey ahead,” said Daniels. “Carrollton is home. I’ve raised my family here and watched this community grow in incredible ways. I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue building something meaningful here, so that every Guest feels cared for and every Team Member knows this is a place where their story gets better.”
A Georgia native, Daniels began his career with Chick-fil-A in 1988. What started as a high school job became a lifelong calling when he realized that a career with Chick-fil-A would offer the ideal opportunity to combine his love for business with his passion for developing and mentoring the next generation of leaders.
After serving in various roles within the Company, Daniels was selected as the local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Carrollton in 1997. He will continue to operate Chick-fil-A Carrollton and Chick-fil-A Bankhead Hwy, alongside this new restaurant. For nearly three decades, Daniels has been dedicated to building meaningful connections with Guests and Team Members, creating opportunities for growth and serving the community he loves. With the opening of Chick-fil-A North Carrollton, Daniels will have the privilege of mentoring more than 400 Team Members across all three restaurants. As he steps into this next chapter in Carrollton, Daniels is filled with gratitude and excitement to bring people together, creating lasting moments of connection through community events in the place he has always called home.
Caring for the Carrollton Community
Daniels is committed to giving back to the Carrollton community by:
- Celebrating the opening with a $25,000 donation from Chick-fil-A, Inc. to Feeding America in honor of the new restaurant. These funds will be distributed to partners in the greater Atlanta area to aid in the fight against hunger.
