​Chris Jones began his professional career in the food industry at the age of 14 working at Chick-fil-a. He went on to work his way to Kitchen Manager, General Manager, District Manager and Executive Chef for restaurant chains such as Ruby Tuesdays, Cheesecake Factory and Island Pasta Company. After 10+ years in restaurant kitchens, his experiences offered him a rare insight into what is needed at an industrial level to generate a better-finished product that delivers higher quality goods and are more appealing at the restaurant level. He then took a position as a Sales Representative at a food brokerage firm, where he was a part of a team that developed custom-made items for the food service segment. This afforded him the opportunity to grow the business 10x in his tenure and he became VP of Sales and Operations for all divisions of the firm. While at the firm, Chris was able to open several other divisions, all of which he had a direct hand in cultivating and building the divisions of Initial Sales, Military Food Sales, Asset-Based Transportation Services, Import/Export of Food Products, Promotion and Marketing-Goods Distribution, and Retail-Branded Frozen Foods. These experiences have given him the expertise and skill-set needed to form and develop Pure Cut Poultry.
