Chick-fil-A Opening First Niagara Falls Restaurant September 18th

Chick-fil-A is set to open its first Niagara Falls location on Thursday, September 18th, at 6:30am, bringing new jobs, signature menu items, and a community celebration. The restaurant, located at 6610 Niagara Falls Blvd., will be operated by Buffalo native Aaron Hord and employ approximately 110 people. Hours will run Monday through Saturday, 6:30am to 10pm, with dine-in, drive-thru, carry-out and delivery options available.

To mark the opening, guests who show up in cow-print attire on opening day will receive a free entrée.

“It feels like a dream come true to open the first Chick-fil-A in Niagara Falls and give back to a community that means so much to me and my family,” Hord said. “I’ve called Western New York home my entire life, and I am honored to introduce Guests to Chick-fil-A's delicious food and signature hospitality while giving back to the community through local partnerships.”

Hord, a graduate of the University at Buffalo, previously held director-level roles with local organizations and spent five years training at a Chick-fil-A in Depew before being selected as Owner-Operator. He lives in Niagara Falls with his wife, Jerren, and their four children.

In addition to creating jobs, Chick-fil-A Niagara Falls will take part in the company’s Shared Table® program, donating surplus food to local nonprofits. The chain also announced a $25,000 donation to Feeding America to benefit FeedMore Western New York in honor of the new restaurant.

Chick-fil-A, Inc., the third largest quick-service restaurant chain in the U.S., has more than 3,000 restaurants across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, with recent expansions into the UK and Singapore.

Founded in 1967 by S. Truett Cathy, the family-owned company is known for its “Eat More Chikin” campaign featuring its iconic cows, which will be part of the Niagara Falls opening festivities.
