I live in El Reno, so I hardly ever get to go eat a Chick Fil A, Is there anything I can do to get them to open one here since the nearest one is about 10 miles away?

Just drive 10 miles, like everyone else not closer to a Chick Fil A!

waste of gas!!!!

Then its probably not worth it. :-P

The food is alright, but nothing worth driving out of the way for.

I should'nt have created this thread, Is there a delete button on here somewhere? Lol

You could contact the company. Obviously they won't open a store based off of one phone call, butnif they get enough they will at least know there is interest.

Seems like they are heading your way...they have one in Yukon (1724 Garth Brooks Blvd)...or is that the one that is 10 miles away?

Thats the one 10 miles away unfortunately

Hey you have all those awesome burger places I have to drive from Emond to. Drive the 10 miles.

If it's good enough, then you'll drive for it. How many people from the metro drive to Okarche for fried chicken? Or to El Reno for an onion burger?

However, I don't care for Chick fil-A food, so I personally wouldn't drive any amount of time for it ;) An onion burger or good fried chicken? I'll pony up the money for gas for that.

This. We would drive to Chickasha and Jakes Rib for special events (Mothers Day, birthdays etc) and when they close our Casa Bonita, would drive up to Tulsa every 4 to 6 weeks. To justify that distance, would make a day out of it with other shopping etc

Casa Bonita, would drive up to Tulsa
we would always eat there when we drove up there to watch an Oklahoma Outlaw football game.

El Reno is getting a Swadley's BBQ, so hopefully Chick-fia-a will build there, would not surprise me. Chick-fil-a is growing very rapidly with very good reason...GREAT FOOD and A+ SERVICE!, by far the best service of any fast food chain. Definitely worth just a 10 mile drive. but i know it would be nice to get a restaurant closer to home.

The Chick Fil A at 63rd and May is closed to remodel. Not sure for how long or for what purpose.

Six weeks. New drive through approach, new kitchen, and better traffic flow were cited as the reasons on their social media. I'd like to know exactly what they are doing, though. Looks like they are adding on to the back of the building from what I can tell.

I like Chic-Fil-A. I’m almost exactly 3 miles either direction of 2 CFA’s. One is over by Penn & Memorial , which just by it’s location I’ll avoid for the other one.

I once had a co-worker who would drive to Chickasha for a DQ burger when there was none to be had here in Okc.

The current drive-thru setup is very inconvenient for anyone who actually wants to park and go inside the restaurant to eat, so I'm interested to see how they'll improve that. They don't seem to have much room to work with. I know this location does a booming drive-thru business at lunchtime with all of the office towers on NW Expressway.

The one on I-240 is being remodeled too, apparently.

It is a shame that they have not placed any Chick Fil A out in the NW part of Oklahoma City... have nothing out NW Expressway, or near 122nd and Rockwell or MacArthur.

There's one on Rockwell & NW Expressway.

I frequently use the appt to order and pick up in the curbside delivery area at the 33rd st location in Edmond. I tried to do this one time at the 63rd and May location and ended up not getting my food there because their space for the pickup is big enough for only one car -- and that's if you can even get to it because the vehicles in the drive thru line block everything. I sent them a suggestion to just move across the street in the French Market parking lot and utilize that parking lot. Only half of it is really used anyway. There next to Akin's, they just stuffed that building in there. I believe there are signs along the side of Akin's that has "Akin's parking only". Anyway, I'll be curious to see how they are improving the location.

Shoot... I wish I knew that, or saw it on my phone a couple weekends when I needed a quick lunch out there... will remember for next time.

If you're ever in Edmond, they re-did the drive-thru and back of the store at 2nd & Bryant. I would look for something similar in this case. Covered areas for easier management of the drive-thru and mobile ordering process.

There's one on Rockwell & NW Expressway.

As well as one on Penn just a block or 2 north of Memorial/Turnpike, and one in the Quail Springs Mall Food Court.

there needs to be some in the central city, one in the cbd and one in/around uptown or the eastside.

Not sure this city needs any more chicken restaurants at all...

It is actually crazy to me that downtown barely has any fastfood chains. We have McDonalds, Taco Bell, Sonic on the outskirts of downtown and then of course the Sonic HQ in Lower BT. Just Subway in actual downtown (which closes after lunch). Jimmy Johns in Deep Deuce is really the only chain that is full hours.

There once was a Chick-Fil-A in the Park Harvey Building.

There also was a Schlotskys and a carl Jrs downtown at one point but both are gone now. City Bites is a regional chain with a location in Leadership.

New Chick Fil A coming to Saint Anthony midtown Fall 2019. Behind Starbucks where the Walgreens used to be. Another nice addition to the thriving midtown market.

Yes, been meaning to post this.

Just inside the doors next to Starbucks in this building.

From what we know about Chick Fil A's popularity, St. Anthony might need to build another parking garage!

Awesome!!!

Finally, CFA returns to downtown. Will it have its own door to the outside?

I'm positive it will do well, hopefully they'll lead to more chains coming to downtown, particularly in/near the tourist and convention areas so we "fill the void" for visitors who expect choices when they visit.

10th != downtown.

I heard from the owner of the CFA at Memorial and Penn that the May location should reopen on May 9th. Makes sense. It looks like it is pretty close to being done.

FYI, (and l imagine they do this at a lot of schools), CFA is one of the choices for eating at the Couch OU student cafeteria. They offer all you can eat under some lunch plans.

Yes, this is why I gained 15 pounds my first semester at OU! I've since learned to have my CFA in moderation...

Now open in St. Anthony.

Hours are 6:30A to 9:30P Mon-Sat.

That is touted as the world's ONLY all you can eat Chick-Fil-A.

Yesterday while waiting for my husband on the far west end of the facility, I decided to walk over and look at the new Chick-fil-a, which is pretty much on the east end of the facility. Even though it was only day 2 of operations, literally every single piece of informational/directional signage in the hospital had already been updated to reflect the new restaurant. Apparently its opening was a big enough deal that the hospital felt it needed to be fully prepared!

i can't even imagine an all you can eat Chick fil A. OMG.

I believe construction is supposed to start soon on the 2nd Midwest City location, at Sooner/15th in the new development.

It bid out to general contractors about a month ago so they should be starting soon. Would probably be open around early spring.

Looks like the Edmond Chick Fil A on 33rd and Broadway is getting a total demolish and rebuild. The drive through and parking lot were poorly configured at this location. They bought the drive through cleaner to the east of them a few years ago that gives them a lot more room to work with.

Anyone can eat at the Cafe at OU. Buffet for 10 bucks I believe. Maybe Post-Covid though...

I was a freshman the year they put one in the caf at OU. Part of the reason why I gained the freshman 15!

I'm wondering how many fast food restaurants will do away with dinning rooms in future designs and focus their energy on better drive through layouts post covid. Its another thing they have to worry about and maintain.

My daughter very quickly got totally sick of chicken strips of most any brand.

Chick Fil A planned for the SW corner of Memorial and Rockwell; just east of the Farmer's building.

I like it. A hair closer to home and not near the traffic of NW Exp & Rockwell.

Made this prediction a long time ago on this board! I expected it would be in deer crest on other side of interstate however.

Build it and the traffic will come.

This is a recent photo of their future location:

A great place for a Chick Fil A would be the vacant lot beside Taco Don Nacho on Council across from Hobby Lobby. They would make a killing there.

You could put on in a corn field near Alva and it would make a killing. The brand is very big.

I'm surprised the City is cool with the service road being used as a truck stop / used car lot. Not a great look.

I can understand not wanting to overbuild, but it seems like they could easily double the number of stores in the metro

Chick-fil-A will be built just in time to chase those activities off to the ashes of the Classen Circle building.
