Chick-fil-A Plans to Open in Boston's Copley Square

A chain of chicken places that appeared to have no chance of opening in Boston several years ago may be doing just that now.

According to an article in Bisnow, Chick-fil-A is looking to open in Copley Square, moving into the space on Boylston Street currently occupied by Boloco. This announcement comes six years after the late Boston Mayor Thomas Menino voiced his opposition to the chain coming to the city based on the CEO's opposition to same-sex marriage. The company has opened outlets in various Boston suburbs, including Burlington, Dedham, Framingham, Marlboro, and Peabody, but this would be its first within the city limits if approved. (The Back Bay Association supports the proposal, though Mayor Marty Walsh will still need to review the plans and the restaurant would have to go through the usual permitting process before being able to open.)

The address for the proposed location of Chick-fil-A in Copley Square would be 569 Boylston Street, Boston, MA, 02116. The website for the chain can be found at https://ift.tt/1w2dmtN
