Chic-fil-A coming to Fairhope ???

Chick-fil-A Inc. has confirmed they are actively pursuing a new location in Fairhope, excited by the prospect of joining the neighborhood and creating 80-120 jobs. While the exact location is still unknown, many commercial areas within Fairhope are being considered. With Chick-fil-A Daphne closed for a four- to six-month remodel, fans must drive to Spanish Fort, Foley, or Mobile for their fix.
