Hello, I’m Matt Webber—CEO of Webber Restaurants, LLC and owner-operator of Chick-fil-A restaurants in Upstate SC.

I was 15 when I got my first job at Chick-fil-A, cutting lemons to make our fresh-squeezed lemonade. At the time it was a part-time job as I was very involved in school and sports all year long.

As I continued to work through high school and throughout my entire college journey I began to focus on what my long term opportunities would be.  People would always ask me why I was still working at Chick-fil-A all those years.  As I completed high school/college I had learned to work hard, learned the importance of building relationships with those that I work with, continuously learning inside and outside of work, and ultimately identifying my true passions.

I discovered at an early age (lawn care company at age of 12) that I would love to own my own business one day.  The thought of making a guest happy with an excellent experience, taking great pride in doing a job well, and getting paid to do it was very rewarding for me personally.   As my love for the Chick-fil-A brand continued to grow throughout college it became very clear that the ability to own my own business, lead, and influence others was right before me.  At that point I decided to take the learnings and experiences I had accumulated since I was a teenager and join that with my passion of owning a business.
