FLORISSANT, Mo. — The lines are hard to miss at the new Chick-Fil-A in Florissant.
The restaurant just opened yesterday, but it's the woman behind it that has people coming out in droves.
Latasha Fox, also known as Tasha, is the owner operator of the new franchise in Florissant.
Since the store opened its doors January 31, and the response has been overwhelming.
During lunchtime Friday the drive-thru line blocked traffic all the way to KMART. But thankfully the owners didn't mind, because they're closed and Tasha hopes her business will help change that.
"No one wants businesses to leave their community, so its like perfect timing that KMART closed down and we opened so we kind of filled that void," Fox said. "The great thing is that since Chick-Fil-A's here maybe we will attract more higher end businesses."
Tasha said her location may be a little slower than others since many of her employees are learning the ropes. But one thing they're not short on is hospitality.
For that, Tasha gives them titles that show what they aspire to be, rather than what they are now.
"Sydney's gonna be a future writer," Tasha said.
Tasha said she went on about 20 interviews and they were more interested in who she was than just simply her leadership qualifications.
She's hoping others will be inspired by her journey.
