What now is an empty field at the northeast corner of S.R. 54 and Bruce B. Downs (BBD) Blvd. in Wesley Chapel could soon be home to a long-awaited fast food chain.
According to documents filed with Pasco County, Chick-fil-A is meeting with county staff on August 18 for a possible new location at the 2.31-acre site, which once was planned to become a Race Trac gas station.
However, Chcik-fil-A is proposing a 4,877-sq.-ft. restaurant with an indoor play area and drive-thru lane.
Daryl Johnson of Corporate Property Services will be representing the chain at the meeting. Johnson explains that the plans are not final and that Chick-fil-A is still in talks for the location and doing its due-diligence work to determine if the site is a feasible spot for the restaurant. He says that factors could include traffic counts, wetlands on the site and possible cost of construction.
Currently, the closest Chick-fil-A is located on BBD, near Dona Michelle Dr. Another location is slated for S.R. 56, in front of the future Tampa Premium Outlets mall.
