Tom Pike hasn’t found his success through chicken sandwiches and spelling-challenged cows alone.
The winner of the Craven Community College Fabric Award for Business Leadership and owner of the Twin Rivers Mall’s Chick-Fil-A franchise says thata healthy dose of caring about his team and the community is where he finds his real satisfaction.
Pike has been a Chick-Fil-A man for more than 40 years. In his college days he sold fruit at a roadside fruit stand where one of his regular customers was a man named Truett Cathy.
Cathy, in case you are unaware, built the Chick-fil-A empire and ran it until his death in 2014.
