No Chick-fil-A? St. Augustine location will soon shut its doors for a remodel. (SAR)

Another day, more puff pieces and PR-generated "news" in the St. Augustine Record.  Pitiful.  Does not even mention the controversy occasioned by the anti-Gay ownership of this chain restaurant.  Pitiful.





No Chick-fil-A? St. Augustine location will soon shut its doors for a remodel

The lone Chick-fil-A in St. Johns County is shutting its doors Feb. 1 in order to conduct thorough renovations including an expanded kitchen, more parking and a double drive-thru.

It’s a much-needed upgrade for the U.S. Highway 1 location, according to Christy Lamm, marketing director for the St. Augustine location that opened 17 years ago.

The remodel will double the kitchen size, add canopies and fans for drive-thru workers and include interior upgrades such as new tables and chairs.

“The goal of the remodel is to take care of our employees and serve our guests as fast as possible,” Lamm said Thursday.

Lamm said some of the construction has already started and the plan is for the restaurant to reopen sometime in mid to late March. A Grand Reopening is planned at that time.

Chick-fil-A has also filed for construction of another restaurant in St. Augustine, this one at the intersection of S.R. 16 and Inman Road. The restaurant would be 4,992 square feet and include an indoor playground.

In 2018, the American Customer Satisfaction Index’s Restaurant Report 2018 named Chick-fil-A the most popular fast food restaurant in America for the third year in a row.
