Chick-fil-A eyeing Butler Township location
Butler County could soon feature three Chick-fil-A restaurants.
Just weeks after a second Chick-fil-A location received approval from Adams Township supervisors to open at the Adams Corners shopping center on Route 228, it’s apparent the chain is seeking to open a Butler Township location, too.
Currently, there is only one Chick-fil-A location in Butler County, on Route 228 in Cranberry Township.
A legal notice for an upcoming Butler Township zoning hearing board meeting was placed in the Wednesday, Aug. 13, edition of the Butler Eagle. It references an appeal filed by the company.
“There has been an appeal filed by Chick-fil-A for a special exception for canopies. The property is located at 660 Butler Crossing,” the notice read.
The Butler Eagle reached out to Chick-fil-A, which said in a statement Thursday that it is “actively pursuing” a new location in Butler Township, but is “still early in the process.”
“We look forward to working through the approval process with the community and are excited by the prospect of joining this neighborhood. We hope to have the opportunity to serve new guests delicious food in an environment of genuine hospitality,” the restaurant said.
The Butler Township zoning hearing board meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday Township zoning officer Jessie Hines was not immediately available for comment.
