Episode Synopsis

A native of Atlanta, GA, Brandon Hurst started his Chick-fil-A career while receiving his undergraduate degree from Alabama State University. Immediately after graduating from ASU, Hurst accepted a Director of Operations role in Chicago, IL, a new emerging market for the Chick-fil-A brand. Hurst completed his MBA (finance) in 2012 and joined Chick-fil-A’s Leadership Development Program in Atlanta, GA, where he was responsible for partnering with other franchise owners across the United States to launch successful franchises. Having garnered so much experience and exposure from the quick-service restaurant industry, Hurst decided to pursue his own entrepreneurial endeavors. In October of 2014, Hurst, at the age of 26, was selected to become a Chick-fil-A franchise owner, opening his first location in Baltimore, Maryland (the city’s first downtown location) in April of 2015. Today, Brandon is the owner of the first Chick-fil-A in Brooklyn, NY located right across from the Barclay’s Center. Hurst is passionate about serving others, not only in the restaurant but also within the community. We recently had a chance to chop it up with him on life, leadership, the difficult journey of entrepreneurship, and owning your very first franchise enterprise.
