Chick-fil-A® to open new locations across Massachusetts, 7 this year and up to 15 by 2027; here is where they will be located

Chick-fil-A® has broken ground on its Foxborough, Mass. restaurant, set to open in Patriot Place this fall. The company is set to open up to seven new restaurants across the state this year, followed by five to eight more restaurants by the end of 2027. The new restaurants will be a mix of locally owned and licensed locations and will collectively create an estimated 1,600 jobs for local residents across the state.

Chick-fil-A Foxborough, located on the south side of Patriot Place, hosted a groundbreaking ceremony this week. To mark this milestone and support hunger relief efforts across Massachusetts, Chick-fil-A donated $20,000 each to the Boston Marathon fundraising campaigns of two local nonprofits dedicated to fighting food insecurity: FamilyAid Boston and Spoonfuls.

“Breaking ground at Chick-fil-A Foxborough marks an exciting milestone at the iconic Patriot Place that we’re commemorating through meaningful hunger relief initiatives designed to make a difference across the state,” said Elizabeth Meloy, Chick-fil-A Real Estate, Northeast Region. “This is just the start of the next phase of our growth throughout Massachusetts, where we are committed to creating jobs, serving delicious food with care, being a good neighbor and making a positive impact on local communities.”

In 1995, Chick-fil-A opened its first spot in Massachusetts. Since then, the company has steadily grown its footprint to serve guests at 19 restaurants across the state. By the end of 2027, residents across the Bay State can anticipate new restaurants, including in:

Greater Boston: Multiple new restaurant locations in the Boston area and surrounding communities including Danvers, Foxborough, Hudson, South Station and Boston Logan International Airport.

Central Massachusetts: New restaurant slated to open in Worcester.

Western Massachusetts: New restaurants expected to open in East Springfield and West Springfield.

Southeastern Massachusetts: New restaurants planned for Somerset (564 Grand Army Highway) and Dartmouth (outside Dartmouth Mall).

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.
