6 Things to Know About Kalamazoo's Second Chick-fil-A

Just 2 years after the chicken chain came to Kalamazoo, a second location is opening.

It's official: the Kalamazoo City Commission has approved rezoning at West Main and Drake to bring a second Chic-fil-A location to Kalamazoo. Entrepeneur.com notes 24 interesting facts you should know about the chain; here are some highlights:

1. Chick-fil-A practically invented the chicken sandwich

Originally a burger and steak joint called The Dwarf House, owner S. Truett Cathy came up with a fast-cooking method to popularize the chicken sandwich as we know it today.

2. The first 100 customers at a new restaurant get free Chick-fil-A for a year

This is why we saw campers at the Westnedge Ave. store when they first opened in February of 2017.

3. Only 3 states don't have a Chick-fil-A

Vermont is the only one of the continental United States without a franchise location.

4. Chick-fil-A is the most polite fast food restaurant

Call it Southern hospitality, y'all. You'll hear "please" and "thank you" more often here.

5. The secret sauce is no secret

A 2012 Tweet revealed that the "secret" sauce is just ranch, honey-mustard and barbecue all mixed together.

6. Expect a second location soon at the corner of Drake and W. Main.

As the approval for rezoning has just been approved, there is no official timeline yet but construction is imminent. Please pull to the next window for your chicken with a pickle.
