DETROIT – Detroit is ready to welcome its first standalone Chick-fil-A restaurant this fall on the city’s east side.
The new location is scheduled to open Nov. 13 at 17761 Mack Ave. The Atlanta-based company also has a location inside the Detroit Medical Center near Midtown.
According to Crain’s, the Mack Avenue site has faced some challenges. In May, Detroit city officials temporarily halted demolition work on the former Buick service center site due to a contractor’s failure to notify nearby property owners. The demolition resumed later that month.
Chick-fil-A currently operates 31 locations in Michigan, with its first opening in Lansing in 2015.
