(NEW YORK) While many may think of tacos and margaritas on Cinco de Mayo, Washington Heights residents may be in the mood for fried chicken sandwiches thanks to the newly-opened Chick-fil-A.
The fast-food chain quickly built its outpost at the intersection of West 181st Street and St. Nicholas Avenue. The location was vacant for more than a year after the Chase bank left the site to move up the street to Wadsworth Avenue.
Chick-fil-A will bring approximately 100 new jobs — full-time and part-time positions — to the Heights, the company said, per NBC 4 New York.
“I am so thankful for the opportunity to open the first Chick-fil-A in Washington Heights, a vibrant community that has been special to me since my childhood,” owner and operator Al Cuevas told NBC 4. “It is my hope that our restaurant serves as a place where our Team Members and guests feel so welcomed and cared for.”
The Heights location will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday, as the chain is known for being closed on Sundays.
