First Upstate N.Y. Operator’s ‘high expectations’ lead to 11+ Operator Selections

For Chick-fil-A Cicero Owner-Operator Jimmer Szatkowski, the opportunity to hire remarkable people and find ways to develop them has always sparked his interest. Since opening the first Chick-fil-A in Upstate New York, 11 individuals who at some point worked under Jimmer’s leadership have been selected to run their own Chick-fil-A restaurants.

He doesn’t let circumstances impact his dedication, and as he continues to navigate life's challenges, Jimmer is focused on leading with love. Read Jimmer’s full story: bit.ly/3MKPudZ
