Chick-fil-A Opening Stores without Dining Rooms
By Sara Shaw • October 10, 2018
With a growing demand for to-go orders, Chick-fil-A announced it is testing locations in Nashville, Tennessee, and Louisville, Kentucky, without dining rooms. These units will focus instead on catering and delivery and are set to open this month. Customers in the markets can still order catering at any local Chick-fil-A, but the fresh models will serve as hubs for catering and delivery. The Nashville location has no dining room or drive thru—roughly 4,200 of its 5,800 square feet will be dedicated to the kitchen, which is more than double the size of a normal Chick-fil-A’s space. The restaurant also doesn’t accept cash. It will only take credit/debit, “making the Chick-fil-A Mobile App the easiest way to order,” the brand added.
