Major changes are on the way for a Columbia Chick-fil-A location.

The Chick-fil-A at 10136 Two Notch Road was demolished during the weekend, and a remodeled version of the restaurant is on the way. The location is listed as “temporarily closed due to remodel” on Chick-fil-A’s website and is listed as temporarily closed on Google. A banner hanging at the property features one of Chick-fil-A’s trademark cows wearing a hardhat and reads “Don’t have a cow! We’ll be back!”

That Chick-fil-A is on a section of Two Notch Road in northeast Columbia near the Sparkleberry Square shopping center that includes Kroger, Kohl’s, Ross and other businesses.

The State has reached out to Chick-fil-A’s corporate office for a timeline on the project.

The ubiquitous fast food chain, which is known for its chicken sandwiches, nuggets, breakfast biscuits, sweet tea and more, has been active with its stores in the Midlands.

For instance, the Chick-fil-A at 2299 Augusta Road in West Columbia reopened earlier this month after being closed for three months for a remodeling. Also, the unit at 294 Harbison Blvd., which had been torn down in 2022, was rebuilt and reopened in March.

In 2022, the Chick-fil-A at 2600 Decker Blvd. closed and moved to 7515 Two Notch Road, near Interstate 20. And a new Chick-fil-A opened in March 2022 at 5465 Platt Springs Road near Red Bank.

There are more than a dozen Chick-fil-A restaurants in the Midlands area.
