TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - Chick-fil-A announced Tuesday that Jonathan Winn has been named the franchise owner of the chain's Secor Road restaurant as the hiring of upwards of 75 new team members begins.

With the Secor Road restaurant, Winn will become a multi-unit franchise owner for Chick-fil-A, a rare honor among Chick-fil-A operators, having owned the Sylvania and Talmadge restaurant at 4260 W. Sylvania Avenue in Toledo since it opened in 2012.

The new 4,965-square-foot location on Secor Road will include a heritage restaurant interior design that showcases handmade, authentic materials for a vintage-inspired interior, including a large gathering table made from reclaimed wood, subway tiles, and a light fixture made from recycled Coca-Cola bottles, according to Chick-fil-A.

Among other benefits that include scholarships for continuing education, Chick-fil-A restaurants team members appreciate having Sundays off, flexible schedules, and the family atmosphere fostered at the restaurant.

Named one of the "best places to work" by Glassdoor, Chick-fil-A is known for hiring, developing and retaining talent, offering a supportive workplace with opportunities for leadership development, respect for work-life balance and competitive wages.
