Pullman, WALocal News

Chick-fil-A confirmed its plans to open a new restaurant in Moscow, targeting a launch in early 2026. Construction has already begun at 2124 Pullman Road, where the previous Sangria restaurant has been demolished. The company stated that its new location will create 80-120 jobs, contributing positively to the local economy. Currently, the only Chick-fil-A in Moscow operates within the University of Idaho Student Union Building, with the nearest standalone restaurant located in Spokane. Chick-fil-A aims to enhance its community presence by providing convenient access to its offerings.

The company's corporate headquarters in Atlanta operates under values influenced by the Christian beliefs of founder S. Truett Cathy, including closing on Sundays. This new restaurant reflects Chick-fil-A's commitment to genuine hospitality and care. The opening will likely attract more visitors to the area and support local employment.
