The Chick-fil-A location at 7900 Main St., Houston, opened Jan. 12, operating as a drive-thru and carryout location. More than 100 full- and part-time team members are expected to be hired, store officials said.

This becomes the second Chick-fil-A location opened and operated by Houston native Juli Salvagio. Her first location opened in 2005 on Holcombe Boulevard, also in Braeswood Place.

"We want to have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A, and it’s my hope that our restaurant shows so much care for the Houston community,” Salvagio said in a statement. “I am eager to get to know my new guests and team members as we open Main and Kirby.”

In recognition of the new opening, the store is honoring 100 “local heroes” in the Houston area by providing them with free Chick-fil-A meals for a year.
