Chick-fil-A announces New Conroe Restaurant, Opening June 27
A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant will begin serving the Conroe community on Thursday, June 27, 2024. Chick-fil-A, Inc. has selected Eddie Kober as the independent franchised local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Loop 336 & N Frazier Street.
Located at 612 N. Loop 336 W in Conroe, Chick-fil-A Loop 336 & N Frazier Street will be open for outdoor dining, drive-thru and carry-out from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Designed for speed and efficiency, this drive-thru-focused location offers added convenience to serve guests through its drive-thru and a walk-up window for carry-out. The new restaurant will also feature Mobile Thru, a fully dedicated lane in the drive-thru where guests can pick up orders placed ahead of time on the Chick-fil-A App.
The Loop 336 & N Frazier Street restaurant joins more than 130 other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the wider Houston market.
Locally Owned and Operated
Chick-fil-A’s franchise model is essential to how the restaurant serves others. Most Chick-fil-A restaurants are owned and operated by a single individual, which means Chick-fil-A’s local Owner-Operators are small business owners, not passive investors, who work in their restaurants side by side with their Team Members each day.
In Conroe, Kober will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 100 full- and part-time Team Members, serving Guests, cultivating relationships with local organizations and businesses, and tailoring philanthropic efforts to continue meeting the Conroe community’s needs.
Kober has been working for Chick-fil-A for more than 45 years. He began his career with Chick-fil-A while working for his father, who owned a mall location in his hometown of Laredo, Texas. Kober originally planned to go to medical school after graduating college, but instead he decided to pursue the path of one day opening his own Chick-fil-A restaurant. Kober began assisting other local Owner-Operators with their restaurant openings and eventually his hard work and dedication paid off; in 1999, he relocated to Houston to become the local Owner-Operator of his own restaurant.
A few years later, Kober relocated to Conroe, where he still resides with his wife, Angela, and two children, LJ and Wyatt. Kober also serves as the local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Lake Conroe Parkway and Chick-fil-A Willis, which he will continue to operate alongside Chick-fil-A Loop 336 & N Frazier Street.
“My mindset is ‘ready for whatever happens’ – I like to think that flexibility has led me to a successful career and given me the opportunity to make a positive impact on my neighbors here in Conroe through my restaurants,” said Kober. “I’ve been a part of the Chick-fil-A family for over 45 years, from being a local Owner-Operator’s son and a Team Member myself to now opening my third restaurant. I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the Conroe community with care, and I look forward to greeting our Guests with the signature Chick-fil-A hospitality they have come to know and love.”
Caring for the Conroe Community
The Chick-fil-A business is built to add positive impact beyond profit, including giving back to local communities. Chick-fil-A local Owner-Operators are empowered to support the neighborhoods they serve with a key focus on hunger, education, and specific community needs.
In celebration of the opening, Chick-fil-A, Inc. has donated $25,000 to Feeding America to support local hunger relief efforts of Houston Food Bank, a Feeding America partner food bank, in honor of the new restaurant.
Kober’s restaurant is participating in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table® program, an initiative that redirects surplus food from the restaurant to local soup kitchens, shelters, food banks and nonprofits in need. To date, more than 25 million meals have been created from Chick-fil-A Shared Table donations from over 2,000 Chick-fil-A restaurants throughout the U.S. and Canada.
In addition, Chick-fil-A Loop 336 & N Frazier Street is recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the Conroe area by providing them with free Chick-fil-A entrées for a year.
