The history of Chick-fil-A
Chick-fil-A, one of the largest family-owned restaurant chains in the U.S., rose from humble beginnings as a small diner in a suburb of Atlanta.
ATLANTA - Chick-fil-A has announced the company's plan to open its newest Atlanta restaurant next fall near Ponce City Market.
The Chick-fil-A Ponce de Leon location is set to open in fall 2024 where the sports bar Dugan's used to be.
The fast-food company says the restaurant will be designed to "fit seamlessly into the walkability of the neighborhood," and allow guests to walk directly to the Chick-fil-A and dine-in or carry out.
Unlike most of the fast-food restaurant's chain locations, the renderings for the new spot show that it won't have drive-thru lanes.
The locally-owned and operated restaurant will sit about a half mile down the road from the Ponce de Leon Avenue and Boulevard location that opened over the summer.
"Since opening our Ponce & Boulevard restaurant over the summer, we look forward to adding another restaurant to the neighborhood," Chick-fil-A said in a statement.
