Leesburg Announces Chick-fil-A Estimated Opening Date

The Leesburg Land Development Department with Public Works announced the highly anticipated estimated opening date for the new Chick-fil-A restaurant in Leesburg. After months of planning and preparation, the renowned fast-food chain is set to open its doors to the public in early April 2024.
The Leesburg Chick-fil-A will be located at the former site of Chili’s and Mojo’s Grill, at 9925 US-441 in Leesburg. The restaurant’s arrival has been met with tremendous enthusiasm from the local community, eager to savor Chick-fil-A’s signature offerings.
Currently, equipment has been moved on site for the initiation of the demolition process, which is anticipated to span two to two-and-a-half weeks. Then construction and outfitting of the brand-new Chick-fil-A restaurant will begin.
City Commissioner Alan Reisman expressed his enthusiasm for Chick-fil-A’s presence in Leesburg, stating, “This is great for Leesburg as so many people love Chick-fil-A, and now it’s right here in our backyard.”
Chick-fil-a enthusiasts can celebrate. Additional details about the construction progress and grand opening festivities will be shared with the community as the date approaches.
