As we conclude Black History Month, we recognize the trailblazers, change-makers, and history in the making. We are honored to spotlight a leader who is truly “homegrown”: CeCe Glenn, the first Black woman to become a Chick-fil-A Owner-Operator in Memphis.
Honoring the Legacy
For CeCe Glenn, this milestone isn’t just business—it’s personal. A Memphis native and proud graduate of Manassas High School, located just minutes from her restaurant, Glenn’s journey represents the power of resilience and the deep roots of our community. By stepping into this role at the Uptown Memphis location, she has shattered a ceiling and set a new standard for local entrepreneurship.
Building the Future
Glenn’s impact extends far beyond the drive-thru. She is a testament to what happens when talent and tenacity meet a love for one's neighbors. Her commitment to Memphis is already evident through her actions:
We celebrate leaders like Glenn who break barriers every day, making our community more unified, equitable, and full of opportunity. When our business leaders reflect the heart and soul of the neighborhoods they serve, trust grows. Dreams expand. Communities thrive.
