Chick-fil-A Hillsboro is a multi-unit organization (Chick-fil-A Tanasbourne and Chick-fil-A Tualatin Valley Hwy and 67th Ave locations) owned and operated by Brian Hogan. Growing up, Brian lived in the Willow Creek neighborhood in Hillsboro before moving away at a young age. When he was 16, he started working at a Chick-fil-A in North Carolina. Brian loved serving people at Chick-fil-A, so when he decided he wanted to own a business, he worked to become an Operator. This led him back to Hillsboro, where he now lives with his wife, Jaclyn, and their three daughters.
