New Chick-fil-A Restaurant Opening In Metro Detroit Thursday

MONROE, MI — A new Chick-fil-A restaurant opens in Monroe on Thursday.

The new restaurant, located at 2071 N. Telegraph Rd, will open at 6:30 a.m. and run through 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Guests can place an order for pickup, dine-in or delivery on the Chick-fil-A App or online.

Dustin Schultes will own and operate the new restaurant, joining the new team from the Allen Park restaurant.

"Chick-fil-A not only holds a special place in my heart, but in my family’s heart as well," Schultes said. "Growing up in Alabama, it was our family’s tradition to drive 25 minutes to the closest Chick-fil-A to celebrate any accomplishment or special occasion by sharing a meal together."

The Monroe restaurant joins 11 other Chick-fil-A restaurants serving the wider Detroit market, including one in Southfield that opened in September.

In honor of its opening, Chick-fil-A will donate $25,000 to Feeding America on behalf of the new restaurant. The funds will be distributed to partners in the greater Detroit area to aid in the fight against hunger.
