The Big Picture: The Ingalls Aramark team has earned two of Chick-fil-A’s highest honors:
- 2024 Chick-fil-A Guardian of the Brand Award – For ranking in the top 10% of all CFA locations in cleanliness, food prep and operational excellence
- 2024 Milestone Award – For having top sales performance in 2024, made possible by the daily support of Ingalls shipbuilders
Why It Matters: This Chick-fil-A isn’t open to the public. Every guest is a shipbuilder and every meal is prepared with the same standards of consistency, care and quality our mission demands.
What They’re Saying:
- Shawn Guercio, Food Service Director: "It’s important to everyone on the Aramark team that we uphold the same first-time quality and excellence standards as Ingalls. We recognize the tremendous work our shipbuilders do here each day and the important role we play in supporting them, and we take a lot of pride in that.”
- Wanda Cunningham, CFA Lead Supervisor: “This team gives 100% every day because we know our shipbuilders do the same. They have tough, demanding jobs so we do everything we can to make sure they have a great experience when they come through our line. We aim for cleanliness, speed and quality in every meal.”
- Scott Weldon, Vice President, Supply Chain Management: “Strong supplier partnerships make a real difference in how we support our workforce and deliver on our mission. The recognition our Aramark team has earned is a direct reflection of the standards we hold ourselves and our partners to — consistency, accountability and pride in serving those who build the fleet. This service offers convenience to our workforce while contributing to a positive culture. ”
Did You Know? CSA III is one of only two CFA locations in the U.S. that isn’t open to the public — it exists solely to serve Ingalls shipbuilders through a partnership between Aramark and Ingalls.
Celebrate the Team: Next time you stop in for nuggets or a lemonade, thank the team for being part of what keeps our workforce — and our mission — going strong.
