MANHATTAN, N.Y. (PIX11) – A Manhattan neighborhood is getting its first-ever Chick-fil-A this March.
Chick-fil-A will open its first restaurant on the Upper West Side on March 6. It will be located at 795 Columbus Ave.
The fast food chain will be open for dine-in, carry-out, and delivery from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
The restaurant joins 16 other Chick-fil-A restaurants in Manhattan.
“As a lifelong New Yorker, I feel incredibly humbled and excited to be opening the first Chick-fil-A restaurant on the Upper West Side,” said Malcolm Brewer, the independent franchised local owner. “Chick-fil-A allows me to make an impact on my community in areas I’m passionate about, and I’m eager to do exactly that.”
The new restaurant will bring around 90 full- and part-time jobs, according to Chick-fil-A, Inc.
