Chick-fil-A is a fast food restaurant that is typically associated with the southern United States. While they have franchises all over the country (plus a few in Canada), the majority of their stores are in the south. The restaurant's headquarters are in Georgia, where they have more than 200 stores, as compared to around 30 in New York. This relative scarcity in the Empire State makes it all the more surprising that the world's largest Chick-fil-A is right here in New York. New York City is home to many oversized attractions, one of which is the 12,000-square foot Chick-fil-A on Fulton Street.
Chick-fil-A was founded in 1946 and has a dedicated customer base that loves their friendly staff and high quality food.
Unlike most fast food restaurants, they focus on a basic chicken sandwich and don't add new menu items very often.
The world's largest Chick-fil-A opened up in 2018 in New York City's Financial District. It's just a few blocks from One World Trade Center and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
It's five stories tall and can accommodate up to 140 guests. The size is especially impressive considering how small shops in the middle of New York City tend to be.
There is a main floor, two dining floors, plus a rooftop terrace that is open seasonally when the weather is good for al fresco dining.
Sipping a peach milkshake on high in the middle of the Big Apple sounds pretty appealing!
The restaurant's huge windows are perfect for people watching, and what better place to watch people than New York City?
We never would have guessed that the world's largest Chick-fil-A would be in New York!
