Corbett High School Alum Opens First Chick-fil-A in Wood Village
Wood Village will welcomed its first Chick-fil-A restaurant Thursday, Nov. 20, and at the center of the opening is a familiar face to many in the Corbett community: Jordan Jefferis, Corbett High School Class of 2017, who has been selected as the local Owner-Operator of the new Chick-fil-A Wood Village Blvd. For Jefferis, opening the Wood Village location is more than a business milestone—it’s a homecoming.
“It is truly a dream come true to open the first Chick-fil-A in Wood Village, a place I’ve proudly called home my entire life,” said Jefferis. “From growing up in nearby Gresham to attending Corbett High School, this community has always held my heart.”
Jefferis’s connection to the community began long before Chick-fil-A. After graduating from Corbett High in 2017, he joined Chick-fil-A as a Team Member in 2020. He later earned a Remarkable Futures scholarship to pursue his master’s degree and worked his way through multiple leadership roles before being selected as an Owner-Operator. Outside the restaurant, he is active in the Boy Scouts of America leadership training team, where he mentors emerging leaders.
The company is also marking the occasion with a $25,000 donation to Feeding America, which will support hunger-relief efforts through partners across the greater Portland area.
With Corbett roots and a passion for service, Jefferis says he is committed to ensuring the restaurant becomes a positive force in Wood Village.
“As the local Owner-Operator of Wood Village Blvd., I am committed to making a meaningful impact by ensuring that our core values aren’t just words on a wall but reflected in everything we do each day,” he said.
Thank you Amy Detter
