Chick-Fil-A

The Department of Labor fined the owner of a Chick-fil-A in North Carolina for violating child labor laws and paying some workers in meal vouchers instead of actual wages.

For more than 20 years, "Mr. Steve" has been a regular at the Chick-fil-A restaurant in Oldsmar. Until a few years ago, he visited every single day (except Sundays, of course), so staff members began celebrating his birthday each year — even giving him free meals for life on his 100th birthday. This week, they celebrated his 104th birthday, and dedicated his favorite booth to him.

A Chick-fil-A owner in Florida switched his staff to a three-day workweek, where employees work 14-hour shifts and get four-day weekends in return. So when he posted a new job opening and highlighted the schedule, he was inundated with hundreds of applications.

Chick-fil-A is bringing back its peach milkshake, which means it’s officially summer. 

The switch has officially been flipped at the Tampa Chick-fil-A on Waters Avenue. Nearly one million light bulbs make up the Christmas light display, which has become a Tampa staple during the holiday season -- and it’s a tradition that now spans generations.

The food choices at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay are getting an upgrade Thursday. Chick-fil-A is set to open its first Florida theme park location for thrill-seekers looking to satisfy their craving for chicken and waffle fries in between rides. 

"We are seeing far less job applicants or people not showing up for their interviews," one Chick-fil-A location wrote, saying they were in the middle of a "hiring crisis." Another location said it was closing its dining room because "our team members are exhausted and there is no relief for them in our roster."

Beginning this fall, a Chick-fil-A restaurant will open inside Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, and it will be the fast-food chain's first Florida theme park location.

For the seventh year in a row, Chick-fil-A has been chosen as America's top fast-food retaurant, coming in first for customer satisfaction while McDonald's ranked at the bottom of the list.

Demolition started Thursday on Buddy Freddy’s, a down-home restaurant known for its massive country-style breakfast buffet.
