Conroe’s third Chick-fil-A restaurant will open Thursday on North Loop 336 as a newer concept for the chain.
This drive-thru-focused location will serve guests through a drive-thru and a walk-up window for carry-out.
The restaurant opens at 6 a.m. Thursday at 612 Loop 336 North across from Conroe’s eastside H-E-B grocery store. The Loop 336 and North Frazier Street restaurant joins more than 130 other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the wider Houston market.

Eddie Kober is the independent franchised local owner-operator of the new store.
He began his career with Chick-fil-A while working for his father, who owned a mall location in his hometown of Laredo.
Kober also serves as the local owner-operator of Chick-fil-A Lake Conroe Parkway and Chick-fil-A Willis, which he will continue to operate alongside Chick-fil-A Loop 336 and North Frazier Street.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the Conroe community with care, and I look forward to greeting our guests with the signature Chick-fil-A hospitality they have come to know and love,” Kober said.
Kober has been working for Chick-fil-A for more than 45 years.
He originally planned to go to medical school after graduating college, but instead he decided to pursue the path of one day opening his own Chick-fil-A restaurant.
In 1999, he relocated to Houston to become the local owner-operator of his own restaurant.
A few years later, Kober relocated to Conroe, where he still resides with his wife, Angela, and their two children.

“My mindset is ‘ready for whatever happens’ – I like to think that flexibility has led me to a successful career and given me the opportunity to make a positive impact on my neighbors here in Conroe through my restaurants,” said Kober.
The new location brings 100 jobs to the community according to a release from Chick-fil-A. The store will be open for outdoor dining, drive-thru and carry-out from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
“Designed for speed and efficiency, this drive-thru-focused location offers added convenience to serve guests through its drive-thru and a walk-up window for carry-out. The new restaurant will also feature Mobile Thru, a fully dedicated lane in the drive-thru where guests can pick up orders placed ahead of time on the Chick-fil-A app,” according to the release.
Kober’s restaurant will also participate in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table program, an initiative that redirects surplus food from the restaurant to local soup kitchens, shelters, food banks and nonprofits in need.
To date, more than 25 million meals have been created from Chick-fil-A Shared Table donations from over 2,000 Chick-fil-A restaurants throughout the U.S. and Canada.
