Chick-fil-A Expands Downtown Detroit Presence with First Location
A significant milestone in the city's food scene has been marked as Chick-fil-A officially opens its first downtown location on Thursday, January 15th. The restaurant will be situated inside the historic First National Building at 660 Woodward Avenue.
The new establishment is expected to generate employment opportunities for approximately 110 workers. This addition solidifies the chain's presence in the region, with about 20 locations now operating in the metropolitan area.
To celebrate this launch, Chick-fil-A announced charitable donations of $50,000 each to three Detroit-based organizations: Gleaners Community Food Bank, Food Rescue US – Detroit, and the Detroit Public Schools Foundation. These contributions will support the Breithaupt Career and Technical Center's Culinary Program, marking a meaningful gesture from the company.
This downtown location marks another milestone in Chick-fil-A's expansion efforts in Detroit, following the opening of its first Ann Arbor store just last December.

I'm so hyped for this new Chick-fil-A location in Downtown Detroit!!! 110 jobs? That's amazing! I've been craving their chicken sandwiches for ages and can't wait to try them out downtown 
The fact that they're donating $50k each to those awesome local orgs is just cherry on top 
I'm loving how this chain is growing and giving back to the community at the same time 
Chick-fil-a is finally comin to detroit and it's like totally downtown!!! that's amazing news! 110 jobs? yay for our community! 
can't wait to try their food tho, i've heard great things about them. and they're doin good by the community too, donating $50k to some awesome orgs 
first national building is so cool, can't wait to check it out
Like, yay for jobs and all that, but $50k to three random orgs? Can we see some receipts on those donations? How do we know they're not just tax write-offs? And what's up with the "meaningful gesture" phrase? Is Chick-fil-A trying to spin this as some kind of PR stunt? 
I mean, I'm all for supporting local schools and food banks, but let's keep things transparent here.
but honestly it's awesome they're also giving back to the community 
. now let's just hope they can keep up with all the hungry detroiters craving that sweet chick-fil-a sauce 
. But what I love even more is that they're giving back with those charitable donations 
. We need more businesses doing this kind of thing, you know? Let's keep supporting our communities and making positive change 
. Can't wait to check out the new location and try some of their famous chicken sandwiches 
110 jobs? thats a major win for the community tho. i also love that they're givin back 50k each to local orgs its awesome to see big corps carin 
. Don't get me wrong, I love a good charity gesture as much as the next guy, but... still. It's just a lot of dough 
. anyway, can't wait to try out their new location down Woodward Ave!
110 jobs? that's amazing for the community 
. The only good thing I can see is that they're donating to some local organizations, but even that's probably just a PR stunt to boost their image before they start serving up mediocre chicken sandwiches to anyone with a pulse 
.
this is like, the best news ever! chick-fil-a expanding to downtown detroit is gonna be a total game changer for foodies and locals alike 
but seriously, it's awesome that they're investing in the community with those charitable donations 
can't wait to try it out! 
Not that I'm sayin' Chick-fil-A's bad, it's just... have they thought about the impact of all these new restaurants on our local economy? Might be more jobs, but what about the cost of livin' in Detroit, fam? 
...it's so cool that they're bringing some new life to downtown detroit! 110 jobs? that's awesome for the community
