Chick-fil-A set to open new location in Somerset soon

Chick-fil-A will soon add a new location on the South Coast.

With current offerings in Fall River, Dartmouth, Seekonk, and South Attleboro, the restaurant chain will soon be taking orders at 564 Grand Army Highway in Somerset Fairfield Commons.

Chick-fil-A is known for, of course, chicken. The franchise states that they focus on in-store food preparation and serving chicken that is whole breast meat raised with no antibiotics, fillers or added hormones. Fresh produce is delivered several times a week. Salads are prepared to order throughout the day and their famous Chick-fil-A Lemonade® is prepared daily with lemon juice, pure cane sugar and water.

Locations are closed on Sundays so that employees can set aside one day to rest and worship if they choose. It is a tradition that they have upheld since founder Truett Cathy opened the first location in 1946.

 Lucas Powell announced on social media that he will be the owner/Operator of Chick-fil-A Somerset.

“My journey with Chick-fil-A began in 2013, when I was a high school student walking to work at my local Chick-fil-A. Inspired by my own Operator, I set a goal to one day become an Operator myself. That journey took me to New Jersey for nearly five years, followed by three years on the road supporting Chick-fil-A ownership transitions and new restaurant openings— which is when I was first introduced to Massachusetts and immediately felt at home.

“I’m deeply passionate about investing in the next generation, building a business that brings life to our community, and supporting the futures of our team members and those we serve.

“I’m so grateful to call Somerset home and look forward to welcoming you into our restaurant soon!”

An exact date has not been announced, however, the location will open this spring and as early as this month.
