About Kayla S.

Kayla Smith is the Owner/ Operator of the Chick-fil-A in Germantown. She graduated from Cedarville University with a degree in Business Marketing in 2006 and received a Masters in Organizational Leadership from Regent University in 2020. She has been serving the Chick-fil-A organization for 27 years, with a vast array of responsibilities and leadership positions. Kayla's passion is valuing results and relationships, mastering the delicate dance to drive for excellence while maintaining healthy relationships with her team members. The Germantown location is built with 180 total Team Members, 25 of which are in Leadership roles. “One of our Core Values is 'growth'. I want each person hired to know that they have the opportunity to learn, further their skills, find their purpose, and pursue roles of responsibility. I know that this may be a temporary position during a season of life, but it can also be one of tremendous value if they choose it." Kayla's leadership influence extends beyond the four walls of the restaurant, sponsoring 4 of the local high schools with Lead 'Em Up, a leadership and character program designed for coaches and athletes."Our product is chicken, but our passion is influence. Chick-fil-A has given me the tremendous platform to pour into others, and our local community schools are just one of those ways we can add value beyond the front counter." Outside of the restaurant, Kayla is passionate about her faith, family and health.
