Chick-fil-A Opens On Central Avenue

GREENBURGH, NY — Chick-fil-A opened a branch at the Midway Shopping Center on Central Avenue Wednesday.

"We welcome this new restaurant to our town and know that this addition will attract more visitors, shoppers to the popular shopping center and to our town," said Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner.

The national chain of restaurants is moving fast — its first in Westchester only opened July 25, in Yonkers.

Located in the Midway Shopping Center at 913B Central Park Ave., Chick-fil-A Scarsdale will be open for dine-in, carry-out, catering and delivery from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

"In recent months the owners of Midway Shopping Center have reconfigured parking spaces to facilitate safer vehicular and pedestrian flow. Pedestrian conditions have also been improved," Feiner said.

The owner, Joshua Riley, hails from North Carolina and began his Chick-fil-A journey as a Team Member while in college. Fifteen years after starting what he thought would be a summer job, Riley has now planted roots with his family in Westchester County.

In celebration of the opening, Chick-fil-A, Inc. has donated $25,000 to Feeding America to support local hunger relief efforts of Feeding Westchester, a Feeding America partner food bank, in honor of the new restaurant.

In addition, Riley is recognizing 100 local heroes making an impact in the Greenburgh area by providing them with free Chick-fil-A entrées for a year.

The new restaurant will participate in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table® program, an initiative that redirects surplus food from the restaurant to local soup kitchens, shelters, food banks and nonprofits in need. To date, more than 25 million meals have been created from Chick-fil-A Shared Table donations from over 2,000 Chick-fil-A restaurants throughout the U.S. and Canada.
