(Michigan City, IN) - Chick-fil-A is coming to Michigan City.

 

It’s going in at the former Steak ‘n Shake location on Franklin St. north of Interstate 94, according to construction plans submitted to the city.

 

Construction is expected to begin in the near future with completion slated for early in 2025, according to the company.

Company officials also revealed the existing Steak ‘n Shake building will be torn down and replaced with a new Chick-fil-A restaurant, serving its signature chicken breast sandwiches and other menu items such as waffle fries, chicken nuggets, kale salads and sweet tea.

 

The restaurant will also feature indoor and outdoor seating along with a two lane drive-thru, according to company officials.

 

Chick-fil-A has similar plans at a former Steak ‘n Shake location at 1917 Pipestone Road outside Benton Harbor, Michigan.

 

Company officials said additional information like hours of operation will be released once the new building is further along in the process.

 

“We look forward to serving new guests delicious food in an environment of genuine hospitality," a Chick-fil-A spokesperson said.

 

Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A has grown from a regional operation mostly in the south to having about 3,000 locations nationwide.
