Chick-fil-A is rapidly expanding in Michigan with another location in the works in Taylor at 22250 Eureka Rd. The store is anticipated to open this fall.
“Chick-fil-A has plans to reach new communities with upcoming restaurants, including four locally owned and operated restaurants in Chesterfield Township, Roseville, Taylor and Fort Gratiot, slated for this Fall/Winter. Additional growth includes a licensed location in the First National Building, and locally owned and operated restaurants in Detroit, Auburn Hills, Lincoln Park, Orion Township, Clinton Township, Canton and Ann Arbor,” according to a statement published by Chick-fil-A, Inc.
The upcoming Taylor restaurant is being opened by local owner/operator Anthony Sautter. The location is marked as coming soon on the corporation’s website and a Google Business Listing has been created. What Now Detroit reached out to Sautter but hadn’t heard back by the time of this coverage.
“I’m proud to call the Downriver area home, having lived in both Allen Park, Southgate, and now Trenton. This community has always been close to my heart, and I’m honored to be able to serve and connect with the incredible people throughout this area,” Sautter told What Now Detroit in an email.
The site, located on the north of Eureka Rd and west of Rancho Blvd, is right outside a mall housing JC Penny, Best Buy, and a few other retailers. Other eateries in the area include Culver’s, BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse, Dairy Queen inside the mall, and Bubba’s 33 across the street on the other side of Eureka Rd.
“Chick-fil-A takes pride in having independent, local Owner/Operators for most of its locations. As the local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Taylor, I am grateful for the opportunity to step into this role, create 80 – 120 jobs at this restaurant and encourage our Team Members to thrive. However, this isn’t my first time leading at a high level within Chick-fil-A. I’ve had the privilege of gaining valuable leadership experience with the restaurant company, most recently as a General Manager at one of our restaurants in Toledo, which has prepared me to serve our community,” said Sautter.
Chick-fil-A is also working on opening a new location in Roseville, as reported here.
