Chick-Fil-A To Mag Mile

It seems like Chicago is finally getting Chick-Fil-A. And, no, Aurora or wherever the new one is doesn't count. We're talking within city limits here. Besides one slated to open about this time next year in Lincoln Park, the fast food chain is now looking into space along the Mag Mile near Water Tower Place. From Crain's (via RedEye):

"I'm about to sign the lease," said John Featherston, senior director of real estate for the Atlanta-based chain. He declined to give a specific address, except to say that the restaurant would be within a block or two of North Michigan Avenue in the vicinity of Water Tower Place.

A third location in the city is also being considered. Today marked the opening of the first Chick-Fil-A in the metro area over in, yes, Aurora. Locations in Orland Park and Wheaton will also open up this fall.
