Conoce al Operador del Restaurante
Mike Nieves
Becoming the local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A in Caguas is more than a career move – it’s a calling rooted in a lifelong commitment to serving others. Through hospitality, leadership, and heart I want to bring my passion and dedication for people to the Caguas community. I was raised in Puerto Rico from a young age, my career has spanned public service, engineering and military service in the National Guard. No matter the role, one thing remained consistent: a deep passion to guide, mentor and be part of something meaningful and greater than myself. I’ve always believed that leadership is about investing in people, Watching someone grow and step into their potential — that’s the most fulfilling part of any roles I’ve had. That sense of purpose helped guide my path home. Years ago, while living in Europe for work, life brought me full circle. Idamer, a childhood classmate I first met in the 7th grade in PR, was visiting Europe with her friends. Our paths crossed again, and we connected romantically. The timing was just right; I began to seriously consider a return to Puerto Rico. There are no coincidences, I was already praying and thinking of moving back home to Puerto Rico — I knew I was at a point in my life where I could share knowledge, wisdom, and experience with future generations. Reconnecting with my wife was a key part of that journey. The opening of Chick-fil-A Plaza Centro will create approximately 145 Team Members job opportunities. With a vision to build more than just a Restaurant, I want to create a space where people are encouraged to grow, feel supported, and inspired to lead with purpose.
My approach to leadership starts with setting the example — putting others first and helping my Team become the best version of themselves. I'm looking for individuals with character, a strong work ethic, and a drive to serve with purpose. I want every Team Member to find meaning in their work and feel truly connected to our culture.
