Chick-fil-A Store's Controversial New Policy Has Customers Divided
Chick-fil-A Store's Controversial New Policy Has Customers Divided originally appeared on Parade. Since the dawn of hamburger and hot dog joints, teenagers and fast food restaurants have gone hand-in-hand. But now, one Chick-fil-A location's new "teen chaperone" policy might be putting an end to high school kids hanging out and eating fries after customers have mixed feelings about the change. On Wednesday, Aug. 13, a Chick-fil-A in Kettering, OH, shared a Facebook post announcing the rule, explaining that to "ensure a safe and respectful environment for all guests," patrons "17 and under must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or adult chaperone (age 21+) to dine in." "Unaccompanied minors may be asked to leave," the post continued, adding, "Thank you for helping us to keep Chick-fil-A family-friendly!" Some commenters were quick to argue against the idea, with one even saying they "won't be eating" at that Chick-fil-A location anymore. "I'm in my 50s but I disagree with their policy there's better ways I've managed restaurants convenience stores and retail places and this is not the answer," the person wrote, adding, "You're going to lose so much money and so much business especially being close to the high school and Junior high and what not and on game nights you're screwed your business that you're used to getting on a game night is pretty much over." "We went Tuesday night for family night and there was about ten or so teens (probably on a sports team together- some were wearing Alter baseball shirts) and they were all so well mannered and having a good time in a safe environment," another local Chick-fil-A customer chimed in to say. "Sad that is getting taken away from them." Others, however, were in agreement with the idea, with one pointing out that "nobody there makes enough to constantly 'remove disruptive' teenagers who lack accountability and fear of consequence." "A lot of places are moving into this direction because your kids are unruly and disrespectful," the person continued. "Everyone acts like this is the only company doing this when it's not," someone else agreed, going on to note that other local businesses also have chaperone policies in effect. Whether or not other Chick-fil-A locations will follow suit remains to be seen, but as a spokesperson for the chain explained toFox Business, "Chick-fil-A restaurants are locally owned and operated. This restaurant has set a policy specific to its location, which mirrors that of the shopping center the restaurant is located in."Chick-fil-A Store's Controversial New Policy Has Customers Divided first appeared on Parade on Aug 19, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 19, 2025, where it first appeared.

This Chick-fil-A is now requiring minors to have an adult chaperone
A Chick-fil-A restaurant near Dayton, Ohio now requires parents to accompany their children when visiting. The location shared its Teen Chaperone Policy via Facebook on Wednesday, August 13. 'With school starting, we wanted to make sure that everyone is aware of our Teen Chaperone Policy,' the restaurant said. 'We are grateful for your support and want to make sure Chick-fil-A Kettering is a safe and enjoyable place for everyone! Thank you so much!' Many social media commenters began poking fun at the restaurant's policy because it requires minors to be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or adult chaperone 21 years or older to dine in. If minors do not comply with the new policy, they may be asked to leave, the restaurant said. One mother commented on the post, writing: 'So, my 18-year-old daughter can't take my 7-year-old daughter here without me (their mom) present?' Another person wrote: 'Pretty sad that the good kids are getting punished.. how about instead of a chaperone policy, they say that they have the right to remove anybody from their property that is being disruptive..' One person defended the chain's decision, writing: 'Nobody there makes enough to constantly remove disruptive teenagers who lack accountability and fear of consequence.' In a written statement, a Chick-fil-A said: 'Chick-fil-A restaurants are locally owned and operated. This restaurant has set a policy specific to its location, which mirrors that of the shopping center the restaurant is located in.' Instances of businesses banning minors without chaperones are becoming increasingly common. The Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance, California, the sixth-largest mall in the U.S., has a policy requiring shoppers under 18 to be with a parent or adult on Fridays and Saturdays after 3 p.m. Similarly, The Mall in Columbia, Maryland, requires those 17 and under to be accompanied at all times by a parent or supervising adult aged 21 or older after 4 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Chick-fil-A Responds to Backlash Over Store's Policy
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Chick-fil-A restaurant in Ohio sparked division online when it announced that diners age 17 or younger must be accompanied by an "adult chaperone." The policy change came ahead of the new school term, set to begin in September, meaning young students won't be able to sit in for snacks or dinner unless joined by a parent or guardian over the age of 21. Newsweek has contacted Chick-fil-A for comment via email. Customers eat at a Chick-fil-A restaurant in New York Penn Station on August 9. Customers eat at a Chick-fil-A restaurant in New York Penn Station on August It Matters The Kettering branch of Chick-fil-A said disallowing unaccompanied children and teens from dining inside would make the venue "a safe and respectful environment for all guests." It is unclear whether a particular incident—or incidents—involving younger customers sparked the move. In recent years, cities across the U.S. have been struggling to deal with a spike in thefts and violence against store and restaurant staff, with fast-food workers facing angry customers. One high-profile incident involved a 17-year-old girl who was arrested on suspicion of fatally shooting a Sonic Drive-In manager in Texas after she and her friends were refused service. What To Know According to an August 2024 Forbes article, Chick-fil-A boasts almost 3,000 locations across the U.S. and raked in $21.6 billion in sales in 2023, thanks to millions of customers. This weekend, Chick-fil-A responded to the backlash over the Kettering branch's announcement by supporting the outlet's decision, saying the policy was "specific to its location" and reflected policies around the shopping center where it is based. The Kettering branch of Chick-fil-A is not the first venue within the company to enact such a measure. In February 2023, a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Royersford, Pennsylvania, ruled that anyone 16 or younger had to be accompanied by an adult to dine in, although they could still get food to go. Bosses said they had made the decision in a bid to control the noise levels, cut conversations with "a lot of explicit language," stop verbal abuse of employees and prevent food fights. The restaurant apologized to all the well-behaved unaccompanied youngsters who had eaten there over the years, saying, "Due to the numerous extreme behaviors of many of your peers, we must make a blanket rule covering anyone under the age of 16." The similar policy brought in at the Kettering location has ruffled feathers, with some customers praising the initiative and others condemning it. 'Good Kids Are Getting Punished' On August 13, the Chick-fil-A in Kettering, Ohio, took to Facebook to tell its customers: "With school starting, we wanted to make sure that everyone is aware of our Teen Chaperone Policy. We are grateful for your support and want to make sure Chick-fil-A Kettering is a safe and enjoyable place for everyone! Thank you so much!" The post included a statement describing the "Kettering Teen Chaperone Policy," which said: "To ensure a safe and respectful environment for all guests: Guests 17 and under must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or adult chaperone (age 21+) to dine in. Unaccompanied minors may be asked to leave. Thank you for helping us keep Chick-fil-A family-friendly!" Some Chick-fil-A customers appeared confused by the wording of the policy, highlighting that minors "must" have an adult with them but those in violation "may" be asked to leave. Others raised questions about the required age of the chaperone. "So, my 18 year old daughter can't take my 7 year old daughter here without me (their mom) present?" one user wrote. Another asked: "What about an 18 or 19 year old that has a small child maybe they were a teen parent. And now their kid is four or five years old and they're 18 or 19 or even 20 and they come in there they're technically not 21 are they going to get turned away?" Several customers felt it was wrong to treat all young people as potential troublemakers. "Pretty sad that the good kids are getting punished," one Facebook user wrote. "How about instead of a chaperone policy, they say that they have the right to remove anybody from their property that is being disruptive." Another user added: "We went Tuesday night for family night and there was about 10 or so teens (probably on a sports team together—some were wearing Alter baseball shirts) and they were all so well mannered and having a good time in a safe environment. Sad that is getting taken away from them." While most commenters criticized the decision, some agreed with the restaurant. One Facebook user wrote: "Nobody there makes enough to constantly 'remove disruptive' teenagers who lack accountability and fear of consequence. A lot of places are moving into this direction because your kids are unruly and disrespectful. … Everyone thinks their own teenagers are so well behaved but have zero clue how they really act when they get into large groups with their friends and start acting up to entertain each other for social media clout at everyone else's expense." "Everyone acts like this is the only company doing this when it's not," another user wrote, adding, "Yes it's unfortunate but unfortunately yes one bad group can ruin things for so many." A Chick-fil-A spokesperson told Fox Business on Sunday: "Chick-fil-A restaurants are locally owned and operated. This restaurant has set a policy specific to its location, which mirrors that of the shopping center the restaurant is located in." What Happens Next The restaurant's Teen Chaperone Policy is now in effect, and it remains to be seen whether it affects its profits.
