Chick-Fil-A Coming to Cameron Village

By on September 20, 2006

Chikfila
Ladies and gentlemen…the most obvious business opportunity in the history of Raleigh, North Carolina is finally coming to fruition. We just got word that a free-standing Chick-Fil-A will replace the old dry cleaners building behind the McDonald’s in Cameron Village. The City of Raleigh better put all downtown and North Hills plans on hold because they will promptly need to widen Oberlin Road, Cameron Street, and Peace Street to handle the massive loads of traffic to be generated by this "cash cow".

    Won't my two-year-old be thrilled! Okay, so will I. Yes, traffic will be awful as a result, at least for a few months while everyone revels in the novelty. Maybe we can convince everyone in the area to walk there.
    So a friend told me the CV HT tired of its nightmare parking lot and is moving back down to the Eckerd's site. I suppose they'd scrape and rebuild. Has anyone else heard that? If so, what's the timetable?
    (P.S.--What a sad notion--the Person St KK getting torn down. Banish the thought.)

    OKAY - now we're def going to move back to Raleigh from LA! We have to drive to Orange County for the only Chick Fil A (possibly in SoCal.)

    Dana,
    I agree with your assessment about the chicken shop, Cameron Traffic is already a mess.
    (How did Krispy Kreme get into the conversation (we will not have to worry about any of their locations, the management at Krispy is running them into the ground, the downtown corner where Krispy is currently located will be prime real estate for a class "A" mixed use building once Blount street project breaks ground))

    all this talk about the CFA makes me feel spoiled that I have one within 2 mins of my house in Cary and one within a few blocks on F-street downtown. I'm happy for you Cameron folks.

    How about everybody shutup and talk about how awesome is that Chick-Fil-A is coming!

    well this is Raleighing, not Durhaming or Chapel Hilling. So I am fine with the KK on Person St.

    There was a Kilwin's on Franklin St. in Chapel Hill. It lasted about a year.

    Umm...as much as I like chick-fil-a the location concerns me since its so close to the entrance of HT, McD's, and also Oberlin Rd, and Daniels. Yeah its gonna be traffic nightmare. Nevertheless bring on the chicken minis...
    I was thinking the other day it would be nice to have another bookstore downtown. I don't know if it could support something like B&N; or something smaller like another Quail Ridge.

    AndyO, sounds like you are from NY!

    a couple years ago a friend called Krispy Kreme to inquire about franchising opportunities. They said they were not licensing any franchises in the SE in the foreseeable future- so I guess you gotta get your fix on Person.
    As for Chik-fil-a, that is great news! Now if they can just get a Trader Joe's in Cameron Village my life would be complete.
