Patriot Place Chick-Fil-A Ready For Next Steps: MA Cheap Eats

FOXBOROUGH, MA — The Patriot Place Chick-fil-A location is ahead of schedule, and could be open just in time for football season.

Patriot Place officials announced a groundbreaking ceremony for the project scheduled for Tuesday, something they said was the first step in the company's "growing investment" in Massachusetts.

Chick-fil-A is set to open 12 to 15 new restaurants across Massachusetts within the next two years, officials said, creating an estimated 1,600 jobs. The restaurant currently operates 20 locations across Massachusetts.

Additionally, to celebrate Foxborough’s groundbreaking, Chick-fil-A will make two donations to the Boston Marathon fundraising efforts of local organizations dedicated to addressing the state’s hunger needs, officials said.

This year's race is scheduled for April 21.

The restaurant will be built within a retail parking Lot 19 at Patriot Place, located adjacent to U.S. Route 1 at 80 Washington Street, officials said.

“We are beyond thrilled to announce the addition of Chick-fil-A and officially welcome them to Patriot Place,” said Brian Earley, Vice President and General Manager of Patriot Place.

“Chick-fil-A’s commitment to customer service and hospitality paired with their delicious and fresh food, including their signature chicken sandwich, makes this locally owned restaurant an incredible addition to Patriot Place. We can’t wait until they officially open for business and our guests can enjoy everything Chick-fil-A has to offer.”

The new Patriot Place location will feature a double-lane drive-thru, indoor seating and an exterior dining patio.
