Behind the Scenes: Chick-fil-A
Thursday, March 15, 4:15-6pm
Do you ever wonder what it takes to own or work at one of the most successful fast food franchises in the country? Want to see how the most delicious chicken sandwich in the world is created? Come take a behind the scenes tour at Chick-Fil A in Orland Park. Discover what it’s like to be part of a 1,500 restaurant chain with locations in 40 states that is worth over $1 billion! Limited to 10 students.
Students MUST arrive promptly at 4:15. Students will be transported off site using The Bridge’s bus, so a student membership application MUST be on file (part of every student membership application includes a “permission to transport” section). If you are unsure about whether or not your application allows us to transport you, please call 708.532.0500.
Out of respect to our volunteers, please be sure you can attend the programs you sign up for. If you need to cancel, 48 hours notice is required so those on our waiting lists can be notified. …More
