Chick-fil-A is continuing its expansion into the Detroit area with its first downtown location.
The new store is set to open at 8 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 15 inside the First National Building at 660 Woodward Ave.
The chain says the restaurant will employ about 110 workers.
It celebrated the opening by making charitable donations to Detroit-based organizations, including $50,000 each to Gleaners Community Food Bank, Food Rescue US – Detroit, and the Detroit Public Schools Foundation to support the Breithaupt Career and Technical Center Culinary Program.
The downtown Detroit location is the latest of about 20 stores that have opened in the region in recent years, with Ann Arbor’s first Chick-fil-A store opening its doors in December.
