MY HOMETOWN

MEET FUTURE RESIDENTS AND NEW CHICK-FIL-A OPERATORS, ZACH AND GINA ZIMMERMAN

For most of us, the Chick-Fil-A is a well known restaurant and we are grateful to have a location in Santee. I’m sure many of us go based on taste alone, but we have been blessed with an amazing Restaurant Operator the past few years. For those who were worried upon receipt of the news that he was moving out of state, I am please to have met the new Restaurant Operator, Zach Zimmerman and his wife and business partner, Gina.

This amazing newlywed couple are a perfect fit into our family-rich community. With previous experience having operated a Chick-Fil-A in the LA area, they come to Santee with an exciting perspective and smart approach to business. Having grown up in North County, Gina is thrilled to be back in San Diego County, which she considers “home”. It didn’t take long for the couple to see what Santee was all about. Their excellent staff and customers made it clear, this is a real community and they couldn’t wait to be a part of it. In fact, they are relocating to become Santee residents soon, to not just be close to the store, but to be our neighbors and share in everything this city has to offer.

For those who already know and love Chick-Fil-A, this may not be news, but they have a multitude of service options available for their food and beverage services. Let me remind you of them:

Dine In: Check out their indoor restaurant and outdoor patio seating from 6:30am-9pm every Monday through Saturday.

Take Out: Same as the dine in option but you get your goodies to go.

Curbside: For those who enjoy the app (and me who enjoys sending my son to pick up!), curbside started during the pandemic and looks like it’s here to stay.

Drivethrough: For those who want to stay in the car, they have a reputation as being one of the fastest drivethroughs in town.

Catering: When you have a large group and want to cater, consider large portions for pick up or delivery.

Fundraising: Zach and Gina made it very clear, they want to support this community! Bring in your organization and see if they can help you raise funds while eating some delicious food and spending local.
