Dennis Williams is the independent franchised Owner/Operator of this new Bergen County franchise. Williams is responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 130 full- and part-time team members, cultivating relationships with local organizations and neighboring businesses, and serving guests.

Chick-fil-A Hackensack surprised 100 local heroes making an impact in Hackensack with free Chick-fil-A for a year. Additionally, in honor of the new Bergen County restaurant opening, Chick-fil-A donated $25,000 to Feeding America. The funds are being distributed to partners within the greater Bergen County area to aid in the fight against hunger.
Hackensack Chick-fil-A is Locally Owned and Operated
A New Jersey native, Dennis Williams was first introduced to Chick-fil-A while living in Cherry Hill with his wife, Alina, who knew of Chick-fil-A and urged him to give it a try. Impressed by the freshly-prepared food and the genuine hospitality, Williams soon became a regular Chick-fil-A guest.
With a bachelor’s degree from Rutgers University and two master’s degrees from the Keller Graduate School of Management in Chicago, Williams worked in higher education for many years in administrative roles that allowed him to influence policy and support and mentor young adults.
As Williams became more familiar with Chick-fil-A, he realized the franchise ownership opportunity could provide him an even larger platform to positively influence his team members and his overall community.
Williams’ dream was fulfilled when he was selected as the Operator of Chick-fil-A Englewood in 2017, which he will continue to operate. Through the Englewood restaurant, Williams provides opportunities for team members to grow into leadership roles and gives back to the community by donating to children’s summer camp programs, food pantries, and organizations that support youth in the area.
Along with the support of his wife and his three children, Williams is thrilled to operate another Chick-fil-A in Bergen County, a place their family has called home for the past seven years.
“Being a Chick-fil-A Operator allows for the unique opportunity to truly engrain yourself within the community that you serve,” said Williams. “I am passionate about developing caring leaders with a strong work ethic to be a bright light in our community.”
