A new Chick-fil-A restaurant is opening its newest location in the Masonville area of London on Thursday, September 11, creating approximately 100 full- and part-time jobs.
Chick-fil-A, Inc. selected Michael Camporese to be the local Owner-Operator of the new restaurant.
Located at 1669 Richmond Street, London, it will be open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., offering dine-in, drive-thru and carry-out.
“As an Operator, you’re uniquely positioned to make a meaningful impact, not just on the business, but on every individual who walks through your doors. It’s an incredible opportunity to lead by example, shape careers, and cultivate a culture where people feel empowered, valued, cared for, and inspired to pursue excellence.”
During a family trip to Port Orange, Florida, Camporese was first introduced to Chick-fil-A’s exceptional service, meticulous detail, and amazing food. The experience resonated deeply, and he’s now excited to bring a new Chick-fil-A restaurant to the province he calls home.
Camporese’s vision extends beyond the restaurant walls. He’s committed to creating meaningful jobs, supporting local causes, and building a welcoming space where every guest feels valued and leaves feeling a little better than before.
Camporese is committed to giving back to the London community by:
● Participating in the Chick-fil-A Shared TableTM program, which redirects surplus food to local non-profits and has helped to create more than 35 million meals to date;
- Celebrating the opening with a donation of C$40,000 from Chick-fil-A, Inc. to Second Harvest to support local hunger relief efforts in the greater London area. Since 2020, Chick-fil-A has donated about C$2 million (US$1.46 million) to Second Harvest to address food insecurity.
Chick-fil-A, Inc. is the third largest quick-service restaurant company in the United States, known for its freshly prepared food, signature hospitality and unique franchise model. More than 200,000 people are employed by local Owner-Operators in more than 3,000 restaurants across Canada, the United States and Puerto Rico.
Chick-fil-A opened its first restaurant in the UK in early 2025 with the goal of launching five locations across the UK within the next two years. The first Singapore restaurant is set to open in late 2025, marking the brand’s entry into Asia.
The family-owned and privately held company was founded in 1967 by S. Truett Cathy.
