Odessa Celebrates Arrival of New Chick-fil-A at State Road 54 and Gunn Highway

The Starkey Ranch and Trinity communities gained a highly anticipated dining destination on October 4, 2025, when Chick-fil-A opened its newest location in Odessa, bringing signature hospitality and quality food to this rapidly growing area.

Early risers who arrived at 6 a.m. for the grand opening were treated to festive celebrations and the chance to experience firsthand what makes this restaurant chain a national favorite. With the intersection of State Road 54 and Gunn Highway continuing to develop as a commercial hub, this addition strengthens the area’s appeal for residents and visitors alike.

Community Leadership with Josh Ragsdale

At the helm of this new restaurant is Josh Ragsdale, chosen by Chick-fil-A, Inc. as the local Owner-Operator. Ragsdale brings a vision centered on creating meaningful connections with every person who walks through the doors. His approach emphasizes genuine care for both guests and the team members who will serve them, promising an experience that goes beyond a typical restaurant visit.

“We look forward to making this restaurant a place where people feel valued each time they walk through our doors,” Ragsdale noted, setting the tone for what diners can expect from this location.

Grand Opening Celebration

The launch festivities embraced Chick-fil-A’s playful brand personality with an invitation for guests to don their best cow costumes or accessories. Those who arrived sporting spots were rewarded with complimentary entrées or kid’s meals—a fun tradition that brought families together and created memorable moments for the community.

The lighthearted promotion showcased the restaurant’s commitment to creating experiences that appeal to guests of all ages, from toddlers in cow-print shirts to adults fully embracing the bovine theme.

Making an Impact Through Philanthropy

Before serving its first sandwich, the new Odessa location made waves with its charitable commitment. A substantial $25,000 donation was directed to Feeding Tampa Bay, addressing food insecurity throughout the region. This Feeding America partner organization works tirelessly to ensure that families in need have access to nutritious meals, making this contribution particularly meaningful.

Beyond the opening day donation, the restaurant joins the Chick-fil-A Shared Table initiative. This program has proven remarkably effective nationwide, transforming surplus food into more than 35 million meals for those facing hunger. Local nonprofit organizations will benefit from this ongoing commitment to reducing food waste while addressing a critical community need.

What’s on the Menu

Food lovers can look forward to the full Chick-fil-A experience, starting with the legendary original Chicken Sandwich that put the brand on the map. Morning visitors will find breakfast favorites like the Egg White Grill and Chick-n-Minis, perfect for fueling up before a busy day.

The menu caters to diverse preferences and dietary needs, featuring Grilled Nuggets for health-conscious diners, fresh salads made with quality ingredients, and classic favorites like the Spicy Chicken Sandwich. Every item is prepared using real, whole chicken breast and produce selected for freshness and quality.

Designed for Modern Convenience

Recognizing that today’s families juggle packed schedules, the restaurant at 13402 State Road 54 offers flexibility in how guests order and receive their meals. Traditional dine-in service provides a comfortable space for families and friends to gather, while the drive-thru accommodates those pressed for time.

Mobile Thru technology allows tech-savvy customers to place orders ahead and pick them up seamlessly, while delivery service brings Chick-fil-A quality directly to homes and offices. Catering options make it easy to feed groups for meetings, parties, or special events.

The restaurant welcomes guests six days a week, opening at 6 a.m. and continuing service until 10 p.m., ensuring accessibility whether you need an early breakfast or a late dinner.

Strategic Location Serves Growing Region

The placement of this restaurant couldn’t be more strategic for the booming residential areas of Starkey Ranch and Trinity. As these communities continue to expand with new homes, schools, and amenities, having trusted dining options becomes increasingly important for residents who have chosen to make this area their home.

The intersection of State Road 54 and Gunn Highway has emerged as a key commercial corridor, and this Chick-fil-A location adds to the growing list of conveniences that make the area attractive to both current residents and prospective homebuyers.

The Chick-fil-A Difference

What separates Chick-fil-A from other quick-service restaurants extends beyond menu items. The brand has built its reputation on creating positive interactions through attentive service and a culture that values each customer. Team members are known for their friendly demeanor and willingness to go the extra mile—qualities that Ragsdale plans to cultivate at this location.

This commitment to hospitality has earned Chick-fil-A consistently high ratings in customer satisfaction surveys and created loyal fans who appreciate being treated with respect and warmth during every visit.

Breaking News: 800+ Acre Sports Complex Coming To Trinity?

28 Nov
Posted on Author Jay @ Welcome to Trinity!

Storyland Studios Unveils Controversial Plans to Create America’s Largest Sports Entertainment Destination in Florida

Transforming Trinity, Florida into the Nation’s Premier Sports and Lifestyle Community

Storyland Studios has announced an ambitious project to transform nearly 800 acres in Pasco County, Florida, into the largest sports entertainment destination in the United States. Unveiled at the IAAPA 2024 Expo in Orlando, this groundbreaking development—dubbed “Trinity”—is set to redefine the North Tampa community as Florida’s “Sports Coast.”

Blending sports, arts, and health-focused amenities, the project promises to deliver a sustainable lifestyle community designed to attract athletes, teams, families, and fans nationwide.

A Vision for the Future

The Trinity project will feature a mix of indoor and outdoor sports facilities, including state-of-the-art stadiums, arenas, and recreational spaces, complemented by hotels, retail centers, restaurants, medical facilities, and residential areas. At six-and-a-half times the size of Disney Springs in Orlando, the project is poised to be a transformative hub for sports, entertainment, and community engagement.

“A story is waiting to be shared here by athletes, coaches, teams, and the families who will gather on these acres from across the country,” said Matt Ferguson, Chief Innovation Officer at Storyland Studios. “With world-class facilities, this destination will inspire dreams and create lifelong memories for all who come to compete, train, or play here.”

Comprehensive Development for a Thriving Community

The Trinity Development Initiative, Inc. (TDI) is partnering with Storyland Studios to design a community that integrates sports entertainment, arts, and health-conscious living. This expansive project will include a professional soccer stadium, a 7,500-seat baseball stadium, a multi-field training complex, an ice arena with five regulation rinks, and a basketball arena. Additionally, an outdoor adventure park and a performing arts center will draw visitors year-round for tournaments, performances, and recreational activities.

“This community has a deep love for sports and the arts, but currently lacks nearby facilities to support those passions,” said Johnny Scott, CEO of TDI and Lead Pastor of Generations Christian Church . “Our goal is to provide world-class amenities, from shops and restaurants to training facilities and performance venues, creating a vibrant, multi-use destination where people can live, work, and play.”

A Commitment to Sustainability

The Trinity project emphasizes environmental responsibility and sustainable development. The initiative aims to be carbon-neutral, with renewable energy sources, water conservation systems, and thoughtful landscaping to preserve the natural beauty of Pasco County. “This project is a gift to our community, and we are committed to protecting and enhancing the region’s resources while welcoming visitors from around the world,” Scott added.

Driving Economic Growth and Community Engagement

The project is designed to strengthen Pasco County’s infrastructure while minimizing demands on existing resources. By funding new roads, water systems, and power solutions, Trinity will serve as an integrated partner in the region’s growth, offering long-term benefits for residents and businesses alike.

“This development is more than just a destination—it’s an opportunity to inspire, connect, and uplift a community,” said Mel McGowan, Chief Creative Officer at Storyland Studios. “Through intentional design and a focus on sports, arts, and wellness, Trinity will become a place where lives are transformed and unforgettable experiences are created.”

Mixed Reactions from Trinity Residents Over Proposed Sports Complex

The announcement of the massive Trinity Sports Complex, touted as America’s largest sports entertainment destination, has sparked a wave of mixed reactions among residents of Trinity, Florida. While some community members are excited about the potential economic benefits and enhanced recreational opportunities, a significant portion has voiced strong concerns over the project’s impact on local infrastructure, wildlife, and overall quality of life.

Residents critical of the development cite the area’s existing struggles with traffic congestion and limited infrastructure as key issues. “Our roads are already overwhelmed, and this project will only make it worse,” said local resident Maria Stevens. “Without a serious investment in roadways, public transit, and utilities, this development will disrupt our daily lives.”

Environmental concerns also dominate the conversation, with many worried about the potential destruction of wildlife habitats across the nearly 800-acre site. “This area is home to diverse wildlife that makes Trinity special,” said environmental advocate Paul Hanson. “Paving over natural spaces for a complex of this size will have irreversible consequences for the ecosystem.”

The scale of the project—six-and-a-half times the size of Disney Springs—has also raised questions about how the community will handle the influx of visitors, particularly during tournaments and events. “The charm of Trinity is its quiet, suburban feel,” said local business owner Emily Carter. “Turning it into a tourist hub could change the character of our town forever.”

Proponents of the complex argue that it will bring jobs, boost local businesses, and position Trinity as a premier destination in Florida’s burgeoning “Sports Coast” region. However, critics insist that these benefits cannot come at the expense of long-term sustainability and community well-being.

Developers at the Trinity Development Initiative (TDI) have promised to address these concerns by funding infrastructure improvements and incorporating environmentally conscious practices into the design. Still, for many residents, these assurances feel insufficient. “We’ve heard promises like this before,” said resident David Ortega. “What guarantees do we have that they’ll follow through?”

As plans for the complex progress, Trinity’s community remains divided. Many hope for further engagement with developers to ensure that the voices of concerned residents are heard and that the project’s impact is carefully managed.
