LEBANON, Pa. — A new Chick-fil-A restaurant will open this week in Lebanon County.
The fast food company announced its new restaurant, located at 1147 Quentin Road, will open Thursday. It will be locally owned and operated by Lebanon County-based franchisee Marty Windisch.
The new restaurant will be open Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
The Lebanon Plaza restaurant joins more than 16 other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the wider Harrisburg-Lancaster-Lebanon-York market.
Windisch will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 120 full- and part-time employees, serving Guests, cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses, and tailoring philanthropic efforts to meet the Lebanon community’s needs.
Windisch is no stranger to the area: He grew up one hour outside of Lebanon, spent time playing sports in the area and married his wife Madisyn in nearby Hershey, the company said.
His journey to becoming a local Owner-Operator started in 2018, when he shifted from the financial services industry to join Chick-fil-A as a Team Member, working for local Owner-Operator Brian Smith in Gambrills, Maryland.
Inspired by the restaurant’s welcoming environment and Smith’s care for his guests and the community, Windisch joined the Chick-fil-A® Leadership Development Program in 2021.
After spending three years supporting restaurant openings across the U.S., he was selected to become the local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Lebanon Plaza.
“In my journey from serving as a Team Member and now as a local Owner-Operator, I’ve experienced firsthand the importance of mentorship and genuine care,” Windisch said, via a press release. “I am so grateful to now call Lebanon home, where our restaurant’s mission it to be a light for our Team Members, Guests and the community. We look forward to so many opportunities ahead to provide remarkable experiences for our Guests and to serve this community with intentionality and care, both inside our restaurant and beyond.”
