Chick-Fil-A – Townridge Square

This Chick-fil-A is the Townridge Square location on Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh. Chicken is the point of the place, and the menu is built around the chain’s signature sandwich, breaded nuggets and salads, with a breakfast lineup earlier in the day.

One thing sets it apart from most fast food restaurants: the doors stay closed every Sunday. That has been the practice since 1946, when founder S. Truett Cathy made the decision, and it still holds at every restaurant in the chain. It is worth planning around, since Sunday is the one day the kitchen here is quiet.
