Permits filed with the City of Concord indicate Jaggers, the fast-casual burger-and-shake offshoot of Texas Roadhouse, is lining up a drive-thru at 985 Concord Parkway South. The proposed build would sit on a roughly one-acre parcel that previously operated as a Chick-fil-A drive-thru, and the site plan language points to a quick-service footprint. For now, the project appears to be stuck in permitting, and no opening date has been announced.
Permits Flag Drive-Thru Plans
As reported by What Now Charlotte, recent filings list 985 Concord Pkwy S and identify the space as a Jaggers drive-thru. In that piece, reporter Emily McGinn noted the site was formerly a Chick-fil-A drive-thru and included a photo credit to the brand’s Instagram account. That reporting is the first public sign that Jaggers is pursuing Concord as an expansion market.
Property Records Show Quick-Service Site
Commercial listing records show the parcel as APN 5610-51-7223-0000 with about 0.98 acres, a 5,436-square-foot structure and a land-use designation of "restaurantdrivein." Those details appear on the property's listing on LoopNet, which aggregates county tax and listing data. The site's size and Concord Parkway frontage make it suitable for a two-lane drive-thru layout.
Menu And Local Footprint
Jaggers' menu centers on made-to-order burgers, hand-breaded chicken sandwiches and hand-spun milkshakes, according to Jaggers. The brand already operates in parts of North Carolina, including a Fayetteville restaurant that opened in March 2024, as reported in coverage republished from The Fayetteville Observer. That mix of menu items and drive-thru service is the chain's playbook when entering new suburban corridors.
Part Of A Broader Expansion
Jaggers is part of the Texas Roadhouse family, and corporate investor materials have included the quick-service brand in their growth outlook. In an investor release, Texas Roadhouse cited plans to open additional Jaggers locations through 2025-2026, indicating company support for faster expansion. That backing could accelerate buildouts compared with independent operators.
What Comes Next
With site plans filed, typical next steps include zoning review, utility approvals and county building permits, many of which are managed through the City of Concord's online permitting process. The City of Concord permits page explains how utility and sewer permits feed into the building-permit review process. If the project advances, residents can expect to see building permits, contractor activity and hiring notices tied to the Concord Parkway address.
