The Chick-fil-A at 2040 N. Rose Ave. in Oxnard will close by December 31, 2026, according to a WARN notice filed by operator Worthy Integrated Holdings LLC. The closure affects 87 employees, and one other Oxnard Chick-fil-A at 851 Town Center Dr. will remain open.
Why it matters
California's WARN act requires employers at establishments with 75 or more employees to give 60 days' written notice before a closure, which is how the impending shutdown became public. For Oxnard residents, the closure reduces the city to a single local Chick-fil-A location.
The WARN notice cites 87 affected employees, and the restaurant's operator, Worthy Integrated Holdings LLC, gave the state the required 60-day advance notice. Oxnard has roughly 200,000 residents, and the closure leaves the city with one remaining Chick-fil-A location.
The players
Chick-fil-A
A fast-food restaurant chain known for its chicken sandwiches, operating over 3,000 locations worldwide and built on a franchise model where the company owns real estate and equipment.
Worthy Integrated Holdings LLC
The operator of the Oxnard Chick-fil-A location that filed the WARN notice disclosing the closure and the 87 affected employees.
The details
The Chick-fil-A at 2040 N. Rose Ave., located across the street from Raising Cane's, will close by December 31. Under Chick-fil-A's owner-operator model, the company owns the real estate and equipment while franchisees run the restaurants independently.
Timeline

December 31, 2026: Oxnard Chick-fil-A at 2040 N. Rose Ave. closes.
Market Landscape
The closure is filed under California's WARN act, which requires 60 days' written notice when an establishment with 75 or more employees shuts down. The notice means the Rose Avenue closure is disclosed in advance rather than abruptly, and it leaves Chick-fil-A with one other Oxnard location.
Oxnard diners who rely on the Rose Avenue location will need to use the remaining Town Center Drive restaurant after year end. The closure is a practical change to where residents can order Chick-fil-A in the city.
The takeaway
The shutdown of one Oxnard Chick-fil-A is a reminder that WARN notices can give residents and workers advance warning of local closures. Diners should plan for the remaining Town Center Drive location once the Rose Avenue restaurant closes.
What happens next
The Oxnard Chick-fil-A at 2040 N. Rose Ave. is scheduled to close by December 31, 2026.
