Chick-fil-A to Open Second South Side Location

Chick-fil-A will open a new restaurant at 11131 S. Corliss Ave. This will be the company’s second South Side restaurant, and it will serve as the anchor tenant for the Pullman Gateway development.

The 5,100-square-foot restaurant will bring 100 jobs to the community. The location will offer 72 guest seats and a patio. The property will also feature an indoor play area for families and sustainable design elements, including electric car charging stations and bike racks.

Chick-fil-A Pullman is one of 15 new Chick-fil-A restaurants opening in the Chicagoland area by 2027, adding an estimated 1,500 additional jobs to the city. The new eight-acre Pullman Gateway commercial center is situated off the Bishop Ford Expressway at 111th St., moments away from the Pullman National Historic Site.
