Chick-fil-A is bringing major changes to Rivers Ave. in North Charleston.
The infamous chicken spot plans to demolish both its current location at 7616 Rivers Ave. and the neighboring Wild Wings Cafe to build a new restaurant.
“While we are still in the early stages, we are happy to share that Chick-fil-A Rivers Avenue is actively working through the approval process with local officials to begin construction to remodel the restaurant. We look forward to rebuilding our space and making improvements to meet the unique needs of the community and allow us to continue serving Guests delicious food in an environment of genuine hospitality,” a spokesperson for Chick-fil-A, Inc. told What Now Charleston.
Chad Burn will remain the local Owner-Operator of the Chick-fil-A location. He confirmed the redevelopment to What Now Charleston, noting the project is still in its initial stages.
“He looks forward to remaining a part of the community and continuing to serve Guests delicious food with remarkable service,” the spokesperson said.
Chick-fil-A is best known for its signature chicken sandwich, served with a seasoned, breaded chicken breast, dill pickle chips and a buttered bun. The menu focuses on chicken-based items, including nuggets, strips and grilled options, along with a variety of dipping sauces that have built a strong fan following.
