Chick-Fil-A coming to Ballenger Creek shopping center in the fall
The Frederick area will get its third Chick-fil-A restaurant in the coming months, with a new branch opening along New Design Road, south of the city. While exact plans are still being determined, the restaurant at the corner of New Design Road and Corporate Drive is expected to open in the fall, Aaron Crunkilton, the franchise owner for the new restaurant and the restaurant on Urbana Pike, said Monday. A third restaurant with different ownership is on Monocacy Boulevard on the north side of the city. The new restaurant will serve the Ballenger Creek neighborhood, as well as hopefully draw business from traffic along New Design Road, Crunkilton said. The new restaurant, about 125 seats, will be a little bigger than the Urbana Pike restaurant, which has 110 seats, he said. It will have a three-lane drive-thru area and a playground, he said. The restaurant will be open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Crunkilton said he is accepting applications at the Urbana Pike branch for people who want to work at the new restaurant.

Major discount chain is selling bottles of US Chick-fil-A burger sauce as shoppers go wild for it
FANS of Chick-fil-A are in for a treat as the fast food chain's iconic sauce is now available at a popular UK store. The famous "delicious and delightful" burger sauce can now be purchased across Britain. Last year, the popular US chain announced it would be opening five locations across the UK. These restaurants are the first to be opened outside of the US, and can be found in Belfast, Liverpool, Leeds, and London. But don't worry if you don't live near one of these cities, because you can now recreate that Chick-fil-A magic at home. One eagle-eyed shopper spotted the brand's iconic sauce on the shelf of a popular retailer. "New Chick-fil-A sauce at Home Bargains," the Facebook user captioned a picture of the product. And if the Home Bargains buy isn't enough to hold you over until you can get your hands on the real thing, why not plan out your order now? The Sun's Money team previously visited Chick-fil-A headquarters in Atlanta to test out all the menu items on offer. According to them, Chick-fil-A's signature fan favourite - the Original Chicken Sandwich - "reinvents" what you may be used to when choosing a fast food main. Meanwhile, the original chicken Chick-fil-A sandwich contains a freshly breaded boneless breast of chicken, pressure cooked in 100% refined peanut oil and served on a toasted bun with dill pickle chips. In fact, all of the items cooked in the chain's fryers are done so in refined peanut oil - but don't panic if you are allergic to nuts. COMING SOON: US Fast Food Chains Invade the UK! The peanut oil is refined, bleached and deodorized, which means the proteins which can trigger a reaction, are stripped out during the processing. Reporters for the Money team described the chicken sandwich as "unparalleled if compared to similar items available at McDonald's or KFC". "What I loved about taking a bite was realising how fresh and unprocessed the chicken breast meat was," one reporter said. "Unlike chicken patties from other fast food chains, the meat at Chick-fil-A seemed to break away just like it would if you were cooking your own chicken breast at home. "Knowing it isn't ultra-processed makes the whole sandwich taste even better." When is Chick-fil-A coming to the UK? Chick-fil-A is set to open its first UK site in early 2025 and then up to five in the following two years. The move comes after Chick-fil-A opened a temporary pop-up branch in Reading in 2019. However, the town centre restaurant shut after its six-month lease expired in 2020. It came after controversy around comments by the company's then-chief executive, Dan Cathy, opposing same-sex marriage. While we don't know where Chick-fil-A plans to open its new UK restaurants just yet, the company told The Sun that they will be strategically located across the UK to give everyone access to the brand. The chain's most popular menu items, including the original Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich, nuggets, waffle fries, and spicy deluxe chicken sandwich, will all appear on UK high streets in 2025. The new Belfast branch first opened its doors on Thursday, March 27, at the Applegreen Templepatrick Services on the outskirts of the city. Meanwhile the locations in Britain have yet to announce official opening dates. Chick-fil-A did reveal plans to expand further into the European market. The company also shared its intention to open stores in Asia by 2030. 2

Detroit orders work stoppage for planned Chick-fil-A near Grosse Pointe
A controversial Chick-fil-A location is still coming soon to Detroit's east side near the Grosse Pointe border, but the project hit a speed bump this week. Hours after demolition began on Monday, May 19, to a former Buick service center at 17761 Mack Ave. to make way for the future fast-food restaurant, Detroit officials ordered an immediate halt to the work. According to the city, the problem was the demolition contractor did not give the required advanced notice of the demo work to nearby property owners. The notices eventually were sent out via UPS and received the morning of May 20 by the property's neighbors, which include a day care/Montessori school with 116 enrolled young children. A city spokesman said the demolition crew is now in compliance and can restart the teardown of the old Ray Laethem Buick building. Neighbors told the Free Press that the demo work had yet to restart as of late Wednesday afternoon. The Mack Avenue Chick-fil-A was first proposed nearly two years ago and faced opposition from some area residents and business owners, including concerns about traffic and the close proximity to The Giving Tree Montessori Learning Center that neighbors the site. More: Detroit officials propose changes to licensing process to ease burdens for small businesses More: I grocery shop almost exclusively at Eastern Market. Here's what to buy, where to find it The restaurant plan ultimately was approved by the city last year once all traffic was routed on Mack Avenue, with none entering or exiting the neighboring Marseilles Street. On April 4, Detroit issued a building permit for the 2,954-square-foot Chick-fil-A. The demolition permit for the site was issued May 14. The Grosse Pointe News has reported that the future location would be the first drive-thru-only Chick-fil-A in Michigan. Representatives for Chick-fil-A and the site's demolition contractor, Warren-based Blue Star, did not return messages seeking comment May 21. Renee Chown, owner of The Giving Tree Montessori Learning Center, which she said is a day care as well as a private elementary school, opposes the Chick-fil-A because it would bump up against the learning center and its playground. Chown said she was surprised Monday morning when the demolition work began and went outside to confront the workmen. "When they started that demolition, none of us had a notice," she said. "We are a little upset here.' Chown also questioned whether the Chick-fil-A location violates a city ordinance against locating fast-food drive-thrus on major roadways within 500 feet of a school. 'There is absolutely no way that they can put that drive-thru next to our playground," Chown said, "because those kids will be smelling smoke, marijuana smoke, the rodents will be out there, they are going to listen to people talk not in such a good language, and the noise control, the fumes of the exhaust pipes — there are many many things wrong with this project." However, city spokesman John Roach noted that Detroit's Zoning Board of Appeals issued its decision in favor of the Chick-fil-A in April 2024, which was two months before the Montessori center is said to have received its registration as a private school. Dave Bell, director of the city's Buildings, Safety Engineering, and Environmental Department, said in a statement that a survey found no asbestos in the old Buick service center building, and that the contractor does have an approved plan to mitigate demolition dust. Bell also said the city asked the contractor to erect a perimeter fence before resuming demolition work, even though such a fence isn't always a requirement. Another neighbor to the site is Allemon's Landscape Center, a business that dates to 1910. Owner Joe Allemon said in a phone interview that he, too, received a demolition notice via UPS on May 20. Nevertheless, he has been opposed to the fast-food restaurant plan, largely because of all the traffic it would likely generate. 'We are not against the brand Chick-fil-A — it's the location," he said. 'The overwhelming community is against this development, but it has just fallen on deaf ears."
