Chick-Fil-A Is Coming Soon!
Get excited: Chick-Fil-A is slated to open its Treelight Square location this spring! We had a chance to chat with the Chick-Fil-A Wendell Owner/Operator Nate White ahead of the highly anticipated restaurant's upcoming opening.
White is bringing Chick-Fil-A to Wendell Falls with a personal and professional commitment to invest in his team and his community. “Although I am a franchisee of a larger chain of restaurants, Chick-fil-A Wendell is my small business to lead and I could not be more excited to get started,” says the owner/operator. With a mission to “Be Light” to Wendell and surrounding areas, White is leading his team with the belief that partnering with great people holds the power to make a profoundly positive impact on the community.

Tell us more about why you're excited to bring CFA to Wendell Falls? I am incredibly excited to open a new Chick-fil-A in my home state, and in an area like Wendell Falls that is thriving in so many ways. I love the small town feel as well as the opportunity to own a business in an area that is burgeoning with so much growth. Wendell Falls already feels like home, and I'm excited to be able to invest in a community with so many wonderful people.
Can you share any grand opening details? We hope to open in April of this year. We’ll keep our social media up-to-date with exact timing and details.
Tell us more about why you're excited to be living/raising your family in the Wendell area? My bride, Courtney, and I both grew up in small towns in the foothills of North Carolina. We are grateful for our experience growing up in small towns and we're excited for our girls to have a similar opportunity.
One thing we really appreciate about Wendell Falls is the small town aspect while still being close to everything that Raleigh has to offer. After living in Kansas for almost nine years prior to our move, we are excited to finish raising our two daughters much closer to family as we put down roots. We’re also excited to be closer to our friends in the Triangle area.
