Chick-fil-A is looking to build a new location just across Ohio 741 from Austin Landing at the southern edge of Montgomery County.

The fast-food restaurant chain recently submitted plans to Miami Twp. for a new 4,852-square-foot eatery with a drive-thru on a 3-acre property east of Ohio 741 and south of Taos Drive.

Site plans call for the new restaurant to have 28 seats for outdoor dining, 78 seats for indoor dining, digital menu boards and parking for 79 vehicles.

The restaurant, if approved, will be built on a new roadway approved by the Ohio Department of Transportation, one that would extend Landing Way east of Ohio 741 and onto a now-residential site at 10322 Springboro Pike.

The Miami Twp. Zoning Commission is scheduled to discuss a final development plan for the site at its regularly scheduled Oct. 8 meeting. If the commission votes to recommend the plan, that application would go before the township’s Board of Trustees. That likely would occur during the board’s Nov. 6 meeting, according to township zoning officials.

Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A Inc., founded in 1967, has more than 3,000 restaurants in 48 states and Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. Chick-fil-A has 11 restaurants serving the greater Dayton area.

Chick-fil-A said it opens a limited number of restaurants each year.

“While we receive hundreds of suggestions from customers on where they would like to see a new Chick-fil-A restaurant, the real estate team at Chick-fil-A Inc. is responsible for selecting all new locations based on corporate goals for expansion in specifically targeted markets and other relevant business factors,” the company said on its website.

Each locally owned and operated restaurant creates between 80 and 120 jobs, according to the company.
