HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Another Chick-fil-A is looking to open in Somerset County.
The fast-food chain appeared before the Hillsborough Township Board of Adjustment meeting on Wednesday with an application proposing to demolish and replace the Exxon gas station on the corner of Route 206 and Triangle Road.
The proposed development will demolish the gas station with four service bays and eight fueling positions to construct a 6,100-square-foot Chick-fil-A.
The new quick-service restaurant will offer 102 interior seats, 24 exterior seats, dual drive-thru lanes, and meal order/delivery canopies.
Other site improvements proposed include new sidewalks, parking, landscaping, lightning, stormwater management basins, and utilities.
The dual drive-thru lanes will provide a stacking queue length to hold around 54 cars. The parking area would offer 70 parking space with two electric vehicle(EV) parking stalls.
Anticipated hours for the new Chick-fil-A will be from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturdays and closed on Sundays.
The proposed restaurant is not a permitted use within the Office Light Commercial Zone District(OLC) and Use ‘D’ Variance will be required.
Currently, Chick-fil-A has one other location in Somerset County off Route 22 in Watchung. The restaurant has also filed an application with Bridgewater Township to open off Route 202 at the former Ruby Tuesday location.
The next hearing for the Chick-fil-A application is scheduled for the Oct. 2 Board of Adjustment meeting.
