If you love Chick-Fil-A, you may be in luck soon in Marblehead. Representatives from Chick-Fil-A told the City Council recently that they plan to put the restaurant on Rte. 20 on the west side of the city. They plan to build the restaurant at 230 Boston Post Road West. This would be the third stand-alone in the state.

Other fast food restaurants, however, have tried to take claim to the space. The city approved the plans in 2010 for a Sonic restaurant. The company backed out, however, and the plot has been empty since then.

Chick-Fil-A is hoping to create a 4,876 square foot building with a drive through near the Wendy’s and Bank of America. The site is currently owned by the Gutierrez Company.

At the moment, the City Council has voted to send the proposal to the Urban Affairs Committee.  Time will tell what happens next and if the Chick-Fil-A will be coming soon.
