‘We’re back’: A Chick-fil-A that was closed has reopened on a high-traffic Midlands road
It’s once again their pleasure.
Chick-fil-A, the well-known chicken sandwich chain, has reopened its location at 5560 Sunset Blvd. in Lexington. The restaurant had been closed for about three weeks as it was being renovated.
‘We’re back,” the Lexington restaurant said on Facebook and Instagram. “We can’t wait to serve you!”
The Sunset Boulevard location told The State in a message during the renovations that the upgrades were being done in the parking lot and the inside drive-thru area so that customers could navigate the lot and drive-thru line more efficiently.
The Lexington Chick-fil-A at 5560 Sunset is in one of the busiest traffic corridors in the Midlands. About 41,000 cars per day travel down that area of Sunset, according to state Department of Transportation traffic count data.
