By Atascadero News · Tue Oct 21 2025

ATASCADERO — A new Chick-fil-A restaurant may soon be coming to Atascadero. A concept plan has been submitted for review for a location near the north end of the city within the Home Depot shopping center, close to the corner of El Camino Real and San Ramon Road, adjacent to SpringHill Suites Hotel.

The proposed site offers convenient access for residents and travelers along the Highway 101 corridor. While still in the early stages of the City’s development review process, the proposal signals continued interest from nationally recognized businesses in expanding local dining options and economic investment.

“Atascadero continues to attract strong interest from quality businesses, and we’re excited about the potential addition of Chick-fil-A to our community,” said City Manager Jim Lewis. “A project like this not only enhances local dining options but also supports continued economic growth and job creation in our City.”

Updates on the project and opportunities for public input will be shared as the review process moves forward. For more information, visit atascadero.org
