Months after devastating fire, Jacksonville Chick-fil-A sets reopening

A popular Jacksonville fast-food chicken restaurant is getting ready to rise from the ashes four months after a devastating fire forced its temporary closure. Chick-fil-A plans to reopen at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27 at 7147 Philips Highway in Butler Pointe Plaza. "After months of rebuilding, we’re SO excited to welcome you back to Butler Blvd Chick-fil-A. … Bring your family, friends, and coworkers to help us kick off this exciting new chapter! We can’t wait to see you!," the restaurant announced Oct. 19 on Facebook. It won't be offering breakfast on reopening day. But breakfast service will resume as normal going forward, according to the post. No injuries were reported in the June 9 predawn fire believed to have been sparked by an electrical issue. The blaze caused extensive damage to the kitchen, drive-thru and adjacent interior dining area. Repairs and alterations to the 4,969-square-foot restaurant were estimated at $1.5 million, according to a July 9 city building permit. Dating back to 2004, the restaurant has had different franchise owners over the years, Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation online records show. Neither Chick-fil-A officials nor the current franchisee could be reached for comment. More restaurant news: Sign
