Note from Jason Driscoll, Store Operator

To the Chick-fil-A Raving Fans,

I hope you are enjoying this blog as much as we are in being able to provide you more insight into the Founders Square store and Chick-fil-A in general. I became a Chick-fil-A Owner/
Operator a little over 8 years ago. I had previously been a pastor in the United Methodist Church for nearly 14 years in Georgia. I pastored everything from new church "plants" to being the executive pastor for a 5000 member congregation. About 9 years ago, I felt like my family and I needed to move back home to Texas; but we needed to be in a position to put down roots and not keep relocating every 3 years. So I left the local church and turned in an application (the day the moving van pulled out of Georgia) to become a Chick-fil-A Owner.

About 2 weeks after arriving in Texas, I got a call from Chick-fil-A. They had a store in Flower Mound that was struggling, the previous owner left Chick-fil-A and they wanted to know if I was interested. I took a chance. Every month in the previous three years that the store had been open, it lost money. In my first month, we broke through and I wrote a profit check for less than $100 for the month of December 2002. That was all the motivation I needed; I knew this store could make it. Since then because of the community's support and amazing team, this location has continued to grow. We have won numerous awards with Chick-fil-A and actually become one of only a few stores in the chain that trains new owners.

My future plans continue to be to grow this location, develop amazing leaders (both high schoolers and adults) and support the town of Flower Mound which we also call home. Many people still ask me if I miss the ministry. I guess I do miss preaching occasionally, but ministry takes place in our store everyday. Like our mission statement say, "Our desire is to be the heart of Flower Mound; nourishing both the stomach and the soul." Thank you for your continued support and the opportunity to serve the Flower Mound community.

Be Our Guest Card



The Be Our Guest card (BOG) is an invitation to try a specific Chick-fil-A item for free. The Be Our Guest card was designed to not only act as a coupon, but to give us personal contact with potential customers. In new markets, BOG cards are a way to get people to try our products. In current markets, BOG cards help us introduce new products or reward our raving fans and give them an opportunity to have something free. Chick-fil-A does not believe in coupons offering a percentage or dollar amount off the price. Who wouldn't want free food? A BOG is a Chick-fil-A's unique gift to our customers.

S. Truett Cathy's Rule to Live By


Truett Cathy believes being kind to customers is the key to success. He lives by the Biblical commandment to love your neighbor as yourself and the Gold Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. One theme at an annual Chick-fil-A seminar was, "Courtesy is cheap, but it pays great dividends."


A customer called Chick-fil-A corporate one day to tell a story about the service he received while he dined at The Dwarf House. As he finished his meal, the waiter told him that he was going to take care of his meal. The customer was shocked and did not understand. Truett was in the restaurant a short time later and asked the waiter why he had paid for the man's meal. The waiter explained to Truett that it was out of friendship. Truett then asked the waiter if the customer had returned. Of course, the customer had returned often and the waiter's tips had greatly improved. The waiter had taken the time to be kind and it paid great dividends. The customer was now a friend and a raving fan of Chick-fil-A.


Chick-fil-A's corporate purpose is to glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us and to have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A. I think the waiter at The Dwarf House is a perfect example of living out our purpose!
