Last fall, Maple Grove became home to the first free-standing Chick-Fil-A restaurant in Minnesota and home to franchise operator, Nancy Christman. Christman moved from Atlanta, Georgia to break ground for the restaurant (11820 Fountains Way,) bringing new flavor and a listening ear to the community’s fast food scene. “I have been with Chick-Fil-A for thirteen years,” she says. “This will be my fourth and hopefully last restaurant.”
