It is our honor to display the Missing Man table in our store this Memorial Day weekend. 🇺🇸
The Missing Man table is an empty table that represents all of our American soldiers who answered the call to serve but never returned home, and each item exhibits a different emotion reserved for the loss of the missing soldiers. The table serves as a focal point of ceremonial remembrance. We encourage you to take a moment and observe this display when you visit our restaurant through Memorial Day.

Over the last week, we had the privilege of recognizing and celebrating three remarkable teachers and staff from right here in the city of Carlsbad. ♥️🥳✏️
A few weeks ago, we asked our community to nominate teachers and staff for our first ever Extra Mile Educator award, honoring those who go the extra mile daily. These three award winners exemplify second mile service through their willingness to go above and beyond to make a difference, their embodiment of excellence, and who have made an impact through all that they do.
We surprised each of these teachers and staff with lunch for their classes or admin groups, and a gift from us here at Chick-fil-A as a thank you for all that they do to make a difference in the lives of students here in Carlsbad.
Congratulations to you all!
