Love and chicken: How Chick-fil-A brought Utah couples together

Many people turn to dating apps or blind dates to find love, but some people discover romance in the most unexpected places. For Shoshana and Jarrod Hart, it all started at Chick-fil-A in American Fork, Utah. They didnโ€™t expect to meet their soulmate while working at a fast-food restaurant. But sometimes love comes when you least expect it.

How Shoshana and Jarrod met at Chick-fil-A in American Fork

Shoshana started working at the American Fork Chick-fil-A in 2017. It was there that she met Jarrod. At first, they became friends. They got to know each other while working together. About a month later, they went on their first date.

Their friendship turned into a relationship, and after five and a half years of dating, they got married last August. Their love story began in the same place where they first met: Chick-fil-A.

On their wedding day, Shoshana and Jarrod made a special visit to the Lehi Chick-fil-A. They wanted to bring back memories from the start of their relationship. It was important for them to keep that connection alive.

โ€œWe had to bring it back where it all started,โ€ Shoshana said. For them, the visit was a sweet reminder of where their journey together began.

Josh Barnes, the Director of American Fork Chick-fil-A, and his wife are one of these success stories. They met at work, and their relationship has lasted for years.

โ€œI still remember the day she walked in, and I thought, โ€˜Weโ€™ve got to hire her,โ€™โ€ Josh said. Now, after almost 8 years of marriage, they have three beautiful daughters.
