Chick-fil-A Delays Reopening Its Only Standalone NYC Location After Several Health Violations Found
Chick-fil-A closed its first standalone NYC location last week after a health inspection on Christmas Eve resulted in a number of health violations, primarily “the presence of fruit flies,” reports the Associated Press, as well as failure to properly refrigerate food.
It was originally slated to reopen today at 6:30 a.m., according to a sign posted on the door of the restaurant that said it’s closed for “restaurant maintenance and facility updates.” But in a statement today, Chick-fil-A said there was “a little more work to be done” and would stay closed until it feels everything “exceeds standards.”
Though there’s been a Chick-fil-A location on the campus of New York University for some time, the chain opened its first standalone spot in the city just last October.
