Tennessee Town Fought Mega Chick-Fil-a and Won
  + stars: | 2024-01-09 | by ( Nancy Luna | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +1 min
Chick-fil-A wanted to build a new, larger restaurant in a small town in Tennessee. But residents fought back, saying the "mega" restaurant would increase traffic. AdvertisementChick-fil-A had big plans to build a large-scale modern restaurant with an indoor playground and dual-drive-thru lanes in a small Tennessee town. But the fast-food juggernaut underestimated the tenacity of locals, who rallied against the proposed "mega" Chick-fil-A in Collierville, whose population is just over 50,000. The proposed restaurant, a relocation of an existing smaller Chick-fil-A, was billed by the company as the "latest greatest prototype Chick-fil-A has" in its system.

A plan for a "mega" Chick-fil-A store in Tennessee is the latest project to encounter backlash from locals concerned about the fast-food chain's frequently crowded drive-thrus lines. In Collierville, Tennessee, Chick-fil-A has proposed replacing a 23-year-old 3,950-square-foot restaurant with a larger one to accommodate the growing consumer demand. Chain reps are billing the proposed 6,110-square-foot restaurant as the "latest greatest prototype Chick-fil-A has" in its system. Chick-fil-A said the bigger restaurant, proposed for an empty lot about a half-mile down the road, is expected to contain cars within two double drive-thru lanes that wrap the restaurant. It also has plans to build an elevated restaurant that has four drive-thru lanes that flow below the store.
