On the morning of December 5th 2024 , the long wait for the brand new Chick-fil-A location in Gateway Center Mall to open was finally over! Students and staff have been excited and waiting for this popular fast food restaurant to open for some months and had the new location super packed waiting to try new things from their menu. Me personally, I was also excited which is why I decided to type this article and go interview the manager Maiysha Warren at this East New York location.
On opening day, the restuarant was super packed and I unfortunately was not able to get in touch with Ms. Warren as it was so busy so I went to the Chick-fil-A website to gather some information.
Ms. Warren stated on the website, “I know this city appreciates efficient, accurate service, and delicious meals, so I am delighted to open a Chick-fil-A in the Gateway Center”. Her plan is to make a positive impact including giving back to the community and focusing on hunger, education, and specific community needs.
On the day of opening, the plan was to give the first 100 people a breakfast deal card,it has four different breakfast sandwich options to choose from and when you go to Chick-fil-A you scan the card and get a free meal. Chick-fil-A’s famous chicken sandwich looks like it’s going to be the most popular item on the menu so far or maybe even the chicken sandwich meal that comes with their soft waffle cut fries and a nice refreshing drink for just the price of $11.69!
I think the idea of bringing the Chick-fil-A to the area was a great idea especially because most Chick-fil-A in NYC are so far away and are usually placed somewhere like Manhattan or downtown Brooklyn. Now there will be less traveling just to enjoy good food.
Well.. what are you waiting for? Go grab yourself a meal!
