Chick-fil-A opened a new restaurant in Wrigleyville on Thursday, April 6. The restaurant is owned and operated by Nick Pulgine. In Wrigleyville, Pulgine will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business, including employing approximately 100 full- and part-time Team Members.
“It’s a dream come true to open a Chick-fil-A restaurant in my home city, and in a neighborhood with such a special fandom and community,” Pulgine said in a statement. “I can’t wait to build my own ‘team’ in the kitchen, here at Chick-fil-A Wrigleyville, engage with the Cubs culture and truly make every customer experience a home run.”
As one of the first in the industry to eliminate chicken raised with antibiotics, Chick-fil-A is dedicated to serving guests great-tasting food, made with high-quality ingredients and delivered with the company’s signature hospitality.
In honor of the opening, Chick-fil-A, Inc., the Wrigleyville Chick-fil-A location will donate $25,000 to Feeding America on behalf of the new restaurant, which will be distributed to partners in the greater Chicago area to aid in the fight against hunger. Additionally, Chick-fil-A Wrigleyville is recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the Chicago area by providing them with free Chick-fil-A meals for a year.
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-game 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).
The restaurant is located at 3500 N Clark St. and will be open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. until midnight for carry-out and delivery.
