Chick-fil-A is pulling a Starbucks move – the chain is opening a new Chick-fil-A restaurant right next to another Chick-fil-A restaurant that already exists.


quote:

A Chick-fil-A is opening up in the parking lot of Merritt Square Mall in Merritt Island, Fla. — a few hundred feet from an already established Chick-fil-A sitting in the shopping center’s food court.


quote:

“While we receive hundreds of suggestions from customers on where they would like to see a new Chick-fil-A restaurant, the real estate team at Chick-fil-A, Inc. is responsible for selecting all new locations based on corporate goals for expansion in specifically targeted markets and other relevant business factors,” the company said.

America’s favorite fast food chain announced the move on its Chicken Wire blog, saying, “Chick-fil-A Operator Kersh Peterson is excited to serve the Merritt Island Community soon!”

Doesn’t West Monroe have two about 100 feet from each other?

They have done this a lot of places. Malls aren’t what they use to be and they can make a lot of money from both locations by getting the people who don’t want to go into the mall.

I remember when the vast, vast, vast majority of CFA locations were ONLY in malls.

But really... the drive through crowd is a different crowd than the eat at the mall food court group, so this isn't as silly as it sounds, nor as silly as Starbucks on multiple corners.

Watch, this one will be crowded like the first one with the drive-thru that's like 20 cars deep at 2:30 PM.

We could use a 2nd one on Siegen or even on College - those are always so full, I hesitate to pull in.

It would be nice if there were 2 Chick-Fil-A stores within eyesight of each other, perhaps one would have a shorter line.

I'm guessing the same operator got the free standing location, otherwise I bet that operator in the mall is pissssed

I can think of more than a few Chick-fil-A locations that would benefit from this.


This actually makes a ton of sense.
