Fast-food fried chicken is having a moment, and Chick-fil-A is one of the most popular options. Its pickle-flavored chicken is iconic, and the chain’s friendly, speedy service is hard to beat.
When new Chick-fil-A restaurants open, it’s usually with a lot of fanfare, complete with cow mascots, charitable donations, and food giveaways. There are often long lines to be the first customers, as well, which undoubtedly happened at the new Chick-fil-A locations that opened this month. Here’s everywhere the chain opened a new location in October — and the locations still to come before November — plus where the chain is planning a multi-restaurant expansion in 2027.

Chick-fil-A’s Pacific Northwest Expansion Plans
Besides the steady clip of new openings, Chick-fil-A has big plans for its future in the Pacific Northwest. Before this month, the chain operated only 14 locations in Oregon, and considering there are over 3,200 Chick-fil-As across the country, that’s not many. But by early 2027, the company plans to expand its presence in Oregon by adding six new locations.
Chick-fil-A is wasting no time, either, because two of those six new locations already opened on October 9.
- 16280 SW Langer Dr., Sherwood
- 350 NE Circle Blvd, Corvallis
Though the other four new Oregon locations’ addresses haven’t been released yet, we know they’ll be in Cornelius, Portland, Tigard, and Wood Village. All told, the six new restaurants will add 600 new jobs to the state, according to Chick-fil-A.
