Chick-fil-A sets opening date for new Salinas location

SALINAS, Calif. (KION) A new Chick-fil-A restaurant has been under construction at Northridge Mall in Salinas, and on Monday, it announced an opening date.

The restaurant shared in a social media post that its Salinas location will be opening on April 8, but there will be modifications due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Because safe service is our top priority, things may look a little different at our restaurant. You can order from us via drive-thru and the Chick-fil-A app. We are taking a number of precautions to protect the well-being of everyone who visits us," the restaurant wrote.
