Summerville’s Cane Bay community is getting a new tenant + it might look a little familiar.

This Thursday, Chick-Fil-A Cane Bay will open its doors to begin serving the Summerville community and we’re pretty forkin’ excited.

To make it even sweeter: Chick-fil-A, Inc. plans to donate $25,000 to Feeding America in honor of the new digs, which will be allocated to local partners. The new location is also providing 100 local heroes with free Chick-fil-A meals for a year.

Y’all know we’ve been in the fall spirit over here. Want to continue the seasonal treat search? Check out the restaurant’s new Autumn Spice Milkshake + the (returning) Grilled Spicy Deluxe Sandwich, available through November 12.

The spread sits in a cozy lounge setting with plush gray seating and warm yellow accents in the background.
