Chick-fil-A hatching in Midwood

July 20, 2022 

Brooklyn location will be company’s first ground-up location in NYC.

Chick-fil-A is reinventing its New York City retail menu, attempting its first ground-up development in the city. 

The fast food chain signed a 20-year, 6,000-square-foot lease at 1573 Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn’s Midwood location, the New York Business Journal reported. The site is owned by Marx Realty. 

The asking rent for the lease wasn’t disclosed, but the outlet noted rents in the area tend to fall between $90 and $125 per square foot. 

The site houses a three-story office building, which will be demolished to make way for Chick-fil-A. It’s not clear when the location will open, but it can’t be soon enough for a company recently recognized as the nation’s favorite fast food chain.
