The launch of any new eatery in Missoula is an exciting event for locals and visitors alike, and it’s certainly good news when a major fast food chain opens its doors to provide affordable dining to hungry people in a hurry.
That’s the case with the Chick-fil-A which now sits in a prime position in the center of the city, so here’s a quick overview of the main points of interest relating to this already popular outlet.
It’s open every day except Sunday
If you’re eager to get down to Chick-fil-A at the weekend, make sure you schedule your visit for Saturday, because in keeping with the brand’s national policy, the Missoula location is closed on a Sunday.
This is seen as a savvy business move by many, but is primarily inspired by the chain’s founder and his focus on faith.
Any other day of the week sees the restaurant open and ready to serve customers between 6AM and 9PM.
The grand opening only recently took place in November 2022
It has already become a staple of Missoula’s culinary scene, but the city’s Chick-fil-A outlet didn’t actually undergo a full launch until November of 2022.
If you missed the grand opening and you want to experience what this is like for yourself, you should check out future Chick-fil-A openings and plan a trip around one to see what all the fuss is about.
You can order in person or via your phone
Whatever your preference for ordering a meal, Missoula’s Chick-fil-A has got you covered. Putting in a request for a meal in person is still an option, or you can use an app on your phone to order without leaving your seat; the choice is yours!
Using the app is particularly appealing if you’re a regular customer, as you can earn reward points that are redeemable for a variety of goodies, including discounts and freebies.
Delivery & catering amenities are available
For home deliveries of Chick-fil-A food, you can place orders whenever the restaurant is open throughout the week.
You can even arrange for full blown catering services if you’ve got a kids party to plan or an event on the cards. The restaurant’s team will even bring all of the food to your desired location for added convenience.
Congestion concerns have been raised
Local road safety campaigners have been vocal in issuing warnings relating to the additional congestion that is likely to be created on North Reserve Street as a result of the opening of the Missoula Chick-fil-A location.
Because the restaurant has a drive-thru window, and due to its aforementioned popularity, concerned residents argue that this is leading to higher volumes of traffic, which in turn puts road users at greater risk of crashes at an already busy intersection.
This is an evolving situation, but one which it’s worth being aware of whether or not you intend to dine at this venue in the coming weeks and months.
Community causes can request support
Local charities, schools and other non-profit causes can get in touch with Chick-fil-A’s Missoula location to request a community donation.
This means that they’ll provide catering services and support for things like fundraising events, all as part of their mission to give back to the city and keep local residents on-side.
Wrapping up
If you’ve never tried Chick-fil-A before and you live in Missoula, you’ve now got a quick and easy way to give it a go.
Of course there are lots of other great restaurants in the city, from major chains to independent eateries, so there’s something for everyone.
