Chick-fil-A announces future GSW location New restaurant inside Student Success Center expected to open Aug. 1

AMERICUS Students at Georgia Southwestern State University will be able to Eat Mor Chikin when a new Chick-fil-A restaurant opens this summer inside the Canes Den in the Student Success Center.

Construction is expected to begin in May on the new restaurant which will be operated by Aramark, the universitys food service provider.

Were excited to begin construction of this new Chick-fil-A restaurant, which is something our students have been asking for as a dining option, said Shane Collins, Food Service Director, Georgia Southwestern State University. We had this space available and knew Chick-fil-A would be a good fit right in the heart of campus.

In October 2013, students took a GSW Dining Services (Aramark) survey selecting restaurant chain preferences. Chick-fil-A was the overwhelming favorite having received 51 percent of the vote. Boars Head deli was second. The new restaurant will feature a Chick-fil-A/Boars Head combination.

The new Chick-fil-A location will serve the original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich, Chick-fil-A Nuggets, Chick-fil-A Chargrilled Chicken Sandwich, Chick-fil-A Waffle Potato Fries, Chick-fil-A Grilled Market Salad, Chick-fil-A Fruit Cup, freshly squeezed Chick-fil-A Lemonade, ice tea and a variety of soft drinks.

The hours of the new restaurant will be as follows: 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. 8 p.m., Friday, and 10:30 a.m. 2:30 p.m. Saturday. As with all Chick-fil-A locations, it will be closed on Sunday. The restaurant will be open to students and the public.

Chick-fil-A is the largest quick-service chicken restaurant chain in the United States with 1,797 locations in 39 states and annual sales of more than $5 billion. The chain has almost 260 licensed locations on college and university campuses and inside businesses complexes and airports.
