CHICAGO — Chick-Fil-A is expanding its fast food footprint to four Chicago neighborhoods this year, the company announced.
The franchise already announced plans to open in Wrigleyville at 3500 N. Clark St. and Avondale at 3246 W. Addison St. Both are expected to open this spring.
The company will also open locations in the Illinois Medical District and at O’Hare International Airport.
The Chick-Fil-A at 713 S. Seely Ave. — across from Stroger Cook County Hospital — could open late spring or early summer, while the O’Hare location is set to open in Terminal 5 later this year, the company said.
The fast food restaurants will bring 350 jobs to the city, according to Chick-Fil-A.
There are currently 46 Chick-Fil-A’s in the Chicago area, the company said.
