Chick-fil-A Gets City Council Green Light

ST. CHARLES, IL — Plans are moving forward to bring a Chick-fil-A to St. Charles.

This past week, the St. Charles City Council approved an ordinance allowing a special use permit for a drive-through at the restaurant at 3795 E. Main Street. There was no discussion by council members regarding the proposed project and councilors voted 9-0 in favor of it.

The site is the former location of a Chili's, which will be demolished as part of the project, according to city documents.

Prior to a city council vote, the city's plan commission and planning and development committee voted in favor of the project during September meeting. The St. Charles Chick-fil-A will include a dining area and indoor play area, according to city documents.

This will be the first Chick-fil-A in St. Charles. Currently, the closest locations are in Batavia and Elgin.

Patch.com has reached out to Chick-fil-A officials for more information regarding when construction will get underway — as well as an anticipated opening date — but has not yet heard back.
