Chick-fil-A Invests in Chicago with Four New Restaurants Opening in 2023
March 9, 2023
The Restaurant Company will Bring 350+ Jobs to the City and Donate to Feeding America
CHICAGO (March 9, 2023) – Three new locally owned and operated Chick-fil-A® restaurants and a licensed Chick-fil-A location, operated by Hyde Park Hospitality, will open in Chicago by the end of 2023.
Set to open in Wrigleyville, Chicago's Avondale neighborhood, the Illinois Medical District and O’Hare International Airport, these three in-line restaurants and the licensed location will join 46 other Chick-fil-A locations currently serving the greater Chicago area. The brand’s in-line and airport models further customize the dining experience for high foot traffic areas. With indoor queue lines and host stations facilitating service at the registers, guests will enjoy efficient service, especially during peak mealtimes.
Located at 3500 N. Clark St., the Wrigleyville restaurant is slated to open in the spring, while the restaurants in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood (3246 W Addison St.) and the Illinois Medical District (713 S Seeley St.) will open in the late spring / early summer. Chick-fil-A will debut a licensed restaurant at Chicago O'Hare International Airport in Terminal 5 by the end of 2023.
Chick-fil-A began proudly serving the Chicagoland area in 2010 at the Fox Valley Center in Aurora and plans to open 10-15 additional new restaurants in the Chicagoland area over the next five years, including a new restaurant in the suburb of Buffalo Grove slated to open in the fall of 2023. As a prominent market in the Midwest, Chicago offers the restaurant company a chance to expand its nationwide footprint in a city environment with an opportunity to serve locals and visitors alike.
"For the past decade, it's been an honor for Chick-fil-A to serve the greater Chicago market as well as grow our downtown presence with our best-in-class restaurants alongside our extraordinary local Operators," said Dericus Harvey, Area Director for the Midwest Region. "With Chicago's rich history, vibrant neighborhoods and community-driven organizations, these four new locations and Chick-fil-A's partnership with the Chicago Cubs represent an opportunity to show care for the Chicago community while serving more guests high-quality food with our signature hospitality.”
Caring for the Chicago Community
Chick-fil-A restaurants are passionate about showing care to the communities they serve through a number of initiatives, which include:
• Redirecting Surplus Food: Through Chick-fil-A Shared Table™, an initiative that redirects surplus food from its restaurants to local soup kitchens, shelters, food banks and nonprofits in need, Chicagoland Owner/Operators have donated over 338,150 meals since April 2016, with the number continuing to grow.
• Nonprofit Grants: Chick-fil-A, Inc. has awarded $750,000 in grants to five nonprofits in the Chicagoland area, including By the Hand Club for Kids, Wheaton College, Moving Everest, Midtown Educational Foundation, and Bridge Teen Center, as a part of the True Inspiration Awards®.
• Feeding America Donations: In celebration of the three new in-line restaurant openings, Chick-fil-A will donate $25,000 on behalf of each restaurant to Feeding America, which will be directed to local Chicago food banks to aid in the fight against hunger. Since 2020, Chick-fil-A has donated $125,000 to Feeding America in the Chicagoland area.
In addition to showing care, these new restaurants will add approximately 350 jobs to Metro Chicago. Chick-fil-A restaurant Team Members enjoy flexible work hours and leadership growth opportunities, competitive wages and benefits, hands-on training and mentoring, and the chance to apply for scholarships to support their continuing education. Since 2012, Chick-fil-A has awarded 786 scholarships in the Chicago market totaling $1,679,000 to support Team Members continuing their education.
A Proud Partner of the Chicago Cubs
As the company deepens its engagement with the Chicagoland community, Chick-fil-A Chicagoland is continuing its partnership with the Chicago Cubs for the 2023 season. Following every Cubs home win, guests can visit participating restaurants across Chicagoland to receive a free Original Chicken Sandwich through the Chick-fil-A ONE App (location services must be on).
Delicious Food; Outstanding Customer Service
Chick-fil-A is known for serving customers great-tasting food made with high-quality ingredients, including the original Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich. Made with a real, whole, boneless breast of chicken with no added fillers, the breaded chicken is pressure cooked in fully-refined peanut oil. Chick-fil-A was one of the first in the industry to eliminate chicken raised with antibiotics to ensure guests have an option for high-quality food on the go.
To complement the great-tasting chicken, fresh produce is delivered to Chick-fil-A restaurants up to six times a week for the best quality and flavor. The fresh ingredients are raised and grown by farmers who share the company's elevated quality and safety standards, so guests feel good about their meals.
