With the Tinseltown Chick-fil-A under renovation at 4461 Southside Blvd., three more locations are in review for remodeling.
The Atlanta-based restaurant chain wants to expand its restaurant at 9980 Southside Blvd. near The Avenues mall.
The city issued mobility fee and concurrency reservation certificates for the 371-square-foot addition and renovations to the restaurant on 1.21 acres. The city calculated a mobility fee of $16,328 to mitigate the traffic impact.
Plans previously were filed for renovations to the Chick-fil-A at 9398 Atlantic Blvd. in the Regency area and at 14020 Lunar Drive in River City Marketplace in North Jacksonville.
It’s part of a brand reimage. In addition to drive-thru improvements, the buildings will undergo interior renovations.
A Chick-fil-A spokeswoman said in May the chain plans to remodel two to three Jacksonville-area locations each year for the next five years as part of its long-term reinvestment strategy.
It operates about 15 locations in Northeast Florida. It does not open on Sundays.
