A new Chick-fil-A restaurant opened on February 19 in Elk Grove, California, marking the city's second location for the popular fast-food chain. The new restaurant, located at Elk Grove Boulevard and Wymark Drive, is part of The Village shopping center development and features a larger space and a third drive-thru lane dedicated to mobile orders. The opening celebration included a $25,000 donation from Chick-fil-A to Feeding America to help fight hunger in the greater Sacramento area.

Why it matters

The addition of a second Chick-fil-A location in Elk Grove provides more dining options for residents and visitors, particularly on the west side of the city. It also signals continued commercial development in the area with the opening of The Village shopping center, which is expected to be anchored by a future Whole Foods Market.

It features a larger space than the existing Elk Grove Marketplace location and includes a third drive-thru lane reserved for mobile app orders. The grand opening celebration on February 19 encouraged customers to dress up in cow-themed costumes for a chance to receive a free entree.
