Chick-Fil-A Plans To Go In Front Of Frankfort Village Board

FRANKFORT, IL — Plans for a Chick-Fil-A in Frankfort continue to move forward after a plan commission meeting last week.

On his Facebook page, Mayor Keith Ogle said the project will go before the plan commission again in June, and should come to the Frankfort Village Board in July.

The plans call for a new building to be built at 20091 S. La Grange Road, which is part of the Hickory Creek Marketplace, according to Board documents.

"The site will be cleared, and a new building built," Ogle said on Facebook.

The lot currently has a 4,500-square-foot Steak n Shake building, which would be demolished. A 4,886-square-foot building for Chick-Fil-A would be constructed, Board documents State.

The project would include four special use permit requests for a carry-out restaurant, a drive-thru service window, outdoor seating and extended hours of operation.

Currently, the closest Chick-Fil-A locations to Frankfort are in Orland Park, Homewood and Crestwood.
