The new Chick-fil-A at Lake Forest Drive and US 380 is set to open Oct. 21. At this time the restaurant will be open for drive-thru, dine-in and carryout service from its address at 5001 W. University Drive, McKinney. Third-party delivery options will be available shortly after opening.

In place of the traditional First 100 grand opening celebration, Chick-fil-A will instead surprise 100 local heroes in the McKinney area with free Chick-fil-A for a year. Additionally, the fast-food chain will donate $25,000 to Feeding America. The funds will be distributed to partners within the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area to aid in the fight against hunger.

Chick-fil-A is known for its original chicken sandwich and waffle fries as well as for its chicken nuggets, salads, lemonade and milkshakes. Its headquarters is located in Atlanta. www.chick-fil-a.com/locations/tx/lake-forest-dr-hwy-380
