BRADENTON, FL — Chick-fil-A has expanded its presence in Manatee County with the opening of a new restaurant in the Bayshore Gardens area. The new location, at 6010 14th Street W., officially opened its doors on Thursday and brings approximately 130 new jobs to the community, according to a company news release.
The restaurant is owned and operated by Nathan Anderson, a Florida native and seasoned Chick-fil-A franchisee. This marks the fourth Chick-fil-A location in Bradenton, joining restaurants on Manatee Avenue W., 73rd Lane E., and another on 14th Street W.
The Bayshore Gardens Chick-fil-A is open Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., with the drive-thru service available until 10 p.m. Guests can choose from dine-in, drive-thru, carry-out, delivery, and catering options.
“Our goal at Chick-fil-A Bayshore Gardens is to do more than serve great food—we want to create opportunities for our leaders to grow and make a difference,” Anderson said. “My family and I are honored to serve Bradenton and build a restaurant where Guests, Team Members, and the community feel valued and supported.”
Anderson entered the Chick-fil-A system in 2015 after a career in retail operations. He spent nearly a decade as a local operator in Colorado before returning to his home state. He brought his leadership team and their families with him to Florida to launch the new location.
Chick-fil-A, known for its customer service and community-focused mission, continues to grow its footprint across Florida with this latest opening.
