Chick-fil-A Reveals Plan For 5th Capital Region Restaurant

The Capital Region chicken explosion rolls on!

Fresh off the opening of the area's first Chicken Salad Chick in Clifton Park and an influx of Dave's Hot Chicken restaurants over the last few years, the king of all chicken eateries has revealed plans for another Capital Region location.

Yes, of course I am talking about Chick-fil-A. They already run restaurants in Albany, Clifton Park, Latham, and North Greenbush. According to an Albany Business Review (ABR) report, the chicken giant has its sights set on its 5th Capital Region location in Colonie.

Where Will The New Chick-fil-A Be Located?

ABR says Chick-fil-A revealed plans for the new eatery to be located at the Colonie Center.  Plans for the new location, which would be part of a retail development project on the south end of the Colonie Center property, are expected to be reviewed on October 6th by the Colonie planning board.

When Will The New Chick-fil-A Open?

As this one is still way early in the review process, it would be hard to pinpoint an opening date. But ABR did say Chick-fil-A previously alluded to another Capital Region opening sometime in 2029.

While the Colonie area may have to wait a couple of years for its own Chick-fil-A, at least we are not starved for access to its menu with various openings recently.

Remember when the airport held our only Capital Region location, and just the scent of a regular restaurant opening drove locals wild? Now we have a wealth of Chick-fil-A options! I guess you can say we are now spoiled in the chicken restaurant chain arena.
