Broadview Heights is about to get a fresh dose of fried-chicken frenzy. A new Chick-fil-A is set to open this Thursday at 6:30 a.m. on the Treeworth Boulevard retail strip, and the chain is rolling in with a “moove-in party,” a family playground, a cow-costume freebie deal, and a $25,000 donation to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank.
The restaurant is listed at 9050 Treeworth Blvd and is still tagged as “Temporarily Closed” while crews prep for opening, according to Chick-fil-A. That same listing directs job seekers to hiring details as the store staffs up for launch.
The early-bird 6:30 a.m. opening time, Monday-to-Saturday hours of 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., playground amenities, and the cow-costume promotion for a free entrée or kids’ meal were all outlined by Cleveland.com, which also notes that opening day will include extra festivities. Organizers are nudging fans to show up early, since the free-meal offer is first-come, first-served while supplies last.
Local operator and hiring
Job postings for the Broadview Heights restaurant list Casey Hughes as the owner-operator and show multiple front-of-house and kitchen positions available ahead of the grand opening, according to ads on Indeed. Those listings describe the March launch as a “grand opening” and tout benefits like scholarships and advancement opportunities that Chick-fil-A regularly highlights as part of its employment pitch.
Why Chick-fil-A is still expanding in Ohio
Chick-fil-A says it is in growth mode across Ohio, with more than 80 restaurants already open in the state and plans for roughly 25 to 30 more by the end of 2027. The expansion is framed as a push that will create thousands of jobs and strengthen community connections, according to a Chick-fil-A press release. The company also typically pairs new openings with a philanthropic gift, a pattern that extends to the Broadview Heights location and its $25,000 commitment to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, as described in company materials.
What to know before you go
Expect long lines on opening morning and do not bank on freebies lasting all day. Chick-fil-A generally honors its cow-costume promotion only while supplies hold out and has a track record of asking customers for patience when crowds spike. The Broadview Heights restaurant will follow Chick-fil-A’s standard schedule: open Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and closed on Sundays, as outlined by Cleveland.com. Plan your visit with those hours in mind and keep an eye on the Chick-fil-A location page for any last-minute updates.
