East Bay city confirms Chick-fil-A will be coming to town [East Bay Times]
Jan. 30 Chick-fil-A, one of the nation’s largest fast-food chicken chains, will break ground Monday in Pittsburg on its first East Contra Costan restaurant.
The popular Georgia-based eatery will locate in Century Plaza in a renovated space where Big 5 once operated, with plans to open later this year, city officials have confirmed late Friday.
Jordan Davis, interim economic development director, said the city had worked with owner Sierra Pacific Properites to revamp the northeastern Pittsburg shopping center, but did not know until recently what business the developer had recruited for the space.
