Chick-fil-A Malvern Operator, Chris Walsh grew up in South Jersey as the oldest of three children. During his school years, Chris’s family relocated to Exton, PA where his Father was selected to operate a Chick-fil-A franchise. While working in his Dad’s restaurant, Chris developed invaluable business skills, and a passion for training and people development. Chris spent the next stage of his career traveling the country and strengthening his leadership skills, while participating in over 20 Chick-fil-A restaurant grand openings. In 2009 a lifelong dream was fulfilled as Chris was selected to operate his own Chick-fil-A franchise.
Chris’s passions include community involvement, live music, the outdoors, Philly sports, leadership development, and family. Chris met his wife Keri, originally from Mississippi, in 2014. They married in 2015 and welcomed twins, Sebastian and Magnolia, into the world in 2018. Keri and Chris are grateful for the opportunity to serve you. The Walsh’s are committed to building meaningful relationships and creating remarkable experiences for the Great Valley community at Chick-fil-A Malvern.
