SPOKANE, Wash. — If you've always dreamed of joining the Chick-fil-A team, now is your chance.
Applications are officially open for positions at the restaurant's future North Spokane location. The available positions include kitchen team member, talent selection coordinator, training coordinator, catering coordinator, brand development coordinator and scheduling coordinator, among others.
Those who are interested can complete an application online.
All Chick-fil-A restaurants are closed on Sundays. Eligible team members also have the opportunity to apply for and receive one of several scholarships.
Spokane's first Chick-fil-A is expected to open in late fall of 2020. The restaurant shared a construction update to Facebook on Sept. 24, writing that "the final details are starting to come together."
The operator of the Newport Highway location was also announced on the restaurant's Facebook page.
Ray, a South Carolina native, has worked for Chick-fil-A for nine years. He has a wife and three daughters.
The previous occupants at the future location of Spokane’s first Chick-fil-A on Newport Highway began to move out in February 2020.
KREM reported in September 2019 that the company filed two building permits for a location at 9304 N. Newport Highway. Confusion abounded, though, because the company tweeted on Aug. 30 that it had no immediate plans to open a location in Spokane.
Documents on the city’s website say that the current Spokane project will be 4,833 square-feet, with 96 interior seats and 16 patio seats, a playground, and a dual order drive-thru lane with capacity for 28 vehicles.
The project also includes one access drive to the business from E. Hoerner Street.
Spokane's ongoing Chick-fil-A saga began in August 2018, when the company's website said a location was "coming soon" to Gonzaga University, which school leaders later denied. The company said an online error was to blame.
