NEW YORK - The popular Chick-fil-A fast-food chain known for its chicken sandwiches is opening a standalone restaurant in Queens this month.
Initially, the restaurant will be open for take-out orders only due to the coronavirus pandemic. Orders for delivery will be available through third-party services soon after, the company said.
This franchise, which is independently owned, is set to debut on Wednesday, Feb. 24. It is located on 82nd Street near Roosevelt Avenue and will serve Elmhurst and Jackson Heights. It is just a few blocks from Elmhurst Hospital, which was ground zero for the coronavirus in the early weeks of New York s outbreak in 2020.
