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.

Mall officials first announced in March 2018 that Chick-fil-A would be opening a location there along with Panera and Pandora Jewelry. In 2019, the City of Salinas gave administrative approval for the restaurant.

I find it interesting and possibly disturbing that the opening of a fast food restaurant in a city with a population of 156,000 is somehow the banner news story, mysteriously running for days on the KION app. ‘Disturbing’ because I strongly sense you are trying to ‘create’ news. Like this is part of a gay agenda. Is it? A way to bring attention locally? To stir people up? If so, it is appalling and in the worst tradition of sleazy journalism. We are trying to bring people together now, not separate them. Gay, straight, whatever. If there is some underlying motive in this ‘news’ story, and I cannot imagine there not being one, I am truly appalled. Please advise why this story is the lead one. Both here and on the app. It is not news. Is it a paid commercial disguised as news? Or is it more sinister? I really would like to know.
Hi jalbert222,
There is no agenda behind the post. We shared it widely because it is something that gets a lot of engagement on both our website and social media pages. Many people ask us about it, so we share updates when we get them. As for it being the lead story, if you are referring to the website, it’s simply the most recently updated story that shows up at the top. We are not paid to run it. I apologize for any confusion.
Best,
Avery
