(CBS DETROIT) – Fast food chain Chick-fil-A plans to open 25 to 30 new locally owned and operated restaurants in Michigan by the end of 2028.
This fall and winter, the restaurant chain will open locations in Chesterfield Township, Roseville, Taylor and Fort Gratiot, and plans to open locations in the First National Building, Detroit, Auburn Hills, Lincoln Park, Orion Township, Clinton Township, Canton and Ann Arbor in the coming years. The company says the new restaurants will create more than 2,500 jobs in Michigan.
Chick-fil-A will open four restaurants in Michigan by 2025, two in the Lansing/Jackson area and one each in Flint/Saginaw and Benton Harbor.
“Michigan has a unique mix of rural, suburban and urban neighborhoods and is filled with close-knit communities and proud residents. As we looked for new opportunities to serve guests and support local communities and economic development, expanding our presence in Michigan was a clear next step,” said Scott Mayson, Chick-fil-A Area Director for the Midwest Region. “For nearly a decade, our passionate local owner-operators have served the Great Lakes region, where they are committed to attracting and developing top talent, delivering great food and our signature hospitality, and building meaningful relationships in their communities. We are grateful for the opportunity to extend our care for team members and guests with new restaurants across Michigan.”
Currently, Chick-fil-A has locations in southeastern Michigan: Detroit Medical Center, Metro Metro Airport, Eastern Michigan University, Livonia, Monroe, Northville, Shelby Township, Somerset Collection North in Troy, Southfield, Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi, and Woodhaven.
