Chick-fil-A To Open New Shelton Restaurant In Late Fall

SHELTON, CT — Chick-fil-A announced this week the restaurant chain plans open a new Shelton location within the next few months.

In a Facebook post Monday, Chick-fil-A said the Shelton restaurant will open at 801 Bridgeport Avenue in Fountain Square "later this fall."

The restaurant chain also noted they are currently hiring, and anyone looking to apply can text "cfa" to 203-601-6299 now.

According to the Shelton Herald, the project's developer said no firm date has been set yet for the restaurant's opening, however Chick-fil-A has expressed interest in an October opening.

Once open, the new restaurant will bring Chick-fil-A's signature menu of fried and grilled chicken sandwiches, tenders and nuggets directly to Shelton residents. Currently, the restaurant's closest locations are in North Haven, Brookfield, Wallingford and Danbury, according to the company's website.

Earlier this year, the popular chicken chain confirmed plans to open a restaurant on the Post Road in Fairfield within a year.

In addition to a variety of chicken-based menu items, Chick-fil-A is also famous for its wide selection of dipping sauces customers can order with their meal, including Garden Herb Ranch, Zesty Buffalo, Polynesian, Sweet and Spicy Sriracha and the popular Chick-fil-A Sauce.
