Locally Owned and Operated
Chick-fil-A Auto Center Drive & Highway 4 is locally owned and operated by Mark Brugh. Brugh’s introduction to Chick-fil-A dates back to his childhood in Atlanta, Ga., when he and his mother would eat breakfast together at the restaurant every Friday morning. These fond memories stuck with him throughout his college years, inspiring him to become a Team Member following his graduation from Auburn University. From 2015-2017, Brugh served the community in an Atlanta restaurant. The following year, he was accepted into Chick-fil-A’s Leadership Development Program and spent more than two years travelling to restaurants across the country gaining the skills necessary to one day become an Operator. Upon completion of the program, he served as a Grand Opening Supervisor, an Interim Manager, on the Support Center Team and on the Satellite and Menu Strategy Team for Chick-fil-A. As the Operator of Chick-fil-A Auto Center Drive & Highway 4, Brugh brings a wealth of experience, as well as his vast knowledge of leadership, service and hospitality to Pittsburg. Alongside his family, he looks forward to opening the new restaurant and developing relationships in the community.
“Being a Chick-fil-A Operator allows for the unique opportunity to truly engrain yourself within the community that you serve,” said Brugh. “My goal is to make a positive impact on my Team Members and all guests who walk through our doors.”

No wonder Americans are so fucking fat! 😏
Why did chic fil a open a restuarant in the busiest intersection of town which will cause further traffic delays and chaos? With opening lines of cats down past Target-how is this good in any way?
