chick-fil-a

The New York State Thruway is in the process of overhauling all 27 of the rest areas. Although they are only working on a handful at a time, the renderings have been revealed. Not only will they be more of an open concept, but some will also have dog parks and all will have better food options.

So any home decor left over?

We have been hearing for some time that the Capital Region will be getting two Chick-fil-A locations (other than the one inside the airport). It seems planning is moving along quite nicely for the Clifton Park location. The Town of Clifton Park Planning Board just got renderings and plans for what that restaurant may look like.

You will no longer have to get through airport security to get it

The New York State Thruway is in the process of overhauling all 27 of the rest areas. Although they are only working on a handful at a time, the renderings have been revealed. Not only will they be more of an open concept, but some will also have dog parks and all will have better food options. Look for Shake Shack, Panera, Starbucks, Panda Express, Chik-fil-A, Popeyes, Dunkin, Burger King, and a new fresh concept Applegreen convenience stores. Taste NY farm markets will be at each rest area along with play areas and picnic areas. There will be amenities for commercial truck drivers including more truck parking, showers, fitness centers, and laundry facilities.

It seems that Chick-fil-A is finally listening to the demand of the Capital Region. Last week it was announced that they are building their first location (outside of Albany International Airport) in Clifton Park. Now we have learned that they are planning a second location in Colonie.

The New York State Thruway Authority will begin a four hundred fifty million dollar project to renovate the twenty-seven service areas throughout New York state. They will rebuild twenty-three of the rest area buildings and the others will be significantly upgraded.

While on vacation last week, I spotted the most glorious food truck to ever roam the streets.

You've mentioned it to your friends, you talked about what a funny idea it would be, and the Cross Country team at RPI beat us all to it!

KFC is about to out chicken Popeye's and Chick-Fil-A.

The next time you fly out of Albany you will have some new dining options.

After a hoax last week which led us to believe Chick-Fil-A was coming to the Troy area, we may have reason to believe a Capital Region location is still coming.
