Joliet’s Chick-fil-A Could Open As Soon As Christmas

 By Shayna Griffith

The highly anticipated Chick-fil-A Joliet location appears to be on schedule to open soon, as construction of the restaurant remains underway. The restaurant is located by Steak n’ Shake on Plainfield Road near the Louis Joliet Mall where the previous Lonestar Steakhouse building was bulldozed in July.


Prairie Construction Company has been hard at work trying to get the building constructed in time since earlier this year, and a January opening was set in the summer. But now, the construction project appears ahead of schedule. Jolet may see a new, double-drive-thru Chick-fil-A serving customers just in time for the holidays. 


Talk of opening a Chick-fil-A in the Joliet area has been happening for a while, but no serious plans of opening one were ever in the works until 2020. Now, it is finally happening and residents of neighboring cities such as Plainfield, Shorewood, Minooka and Channahon are looking forward to the new restaurant, which is sure to be successful since it has been anticipated for months.


It has not been officially confirmed when the fast food restaurant will have its grand opening, but the progress of the construction is favoring a late December/early January opening.

In an interview with Patch editor, Buxbaum stated that they have “[...] about 400 games in [their] library” with family-friendly and inclusive...

  Rory Richards Facebook Certain Fields From Profile Bios, Including “Religious Views”; Does Not Say Why Facebook has announced plans to remove certain fields from profile bios. Starting on December 1, users will no longer be presented with an option to list their sexual orientation, their political views, their address, or their religious views on their personal profiles. Facebook did not provide an explanation for this decision. The decision was announced one week after Meta, the parent company of Facebook, fired 11,000 employees, 13% of its total workforce; whether or not these two events are correlated, however, remains unclear.
