East Orlando is getting another place to fuel up on chicken biscuits at sunrise and sandwiches late into the night. This Thursday, April 23, Chick‑fil‑A is opening a new restaurant in Avalon Park with a Moove‑In Party that rewards guests who lean into the theme and show up in cow spots. The restaurant is set to start serving at 6:30 a.m. and will offer dine‑in, drive‑thru, carry‑out, and Mobile Thru service, with company materials noting the opening will bring roughly 120 jobs and a $25,000 donation to Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.
In a press release, Chick‑fil‑A confirmed that Chick‑fil‑A Avalon Park will open at 14266 E. Colonial Dr. The restaurant will serve Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and will offer dine‑in, drive‑thru, carry‑out, third‑party delivery, Mobile Pick‑Up, and Mobile Thru. The release also reiterates the approximately 120 new jobs tied to the opening and the $25,000 donation to Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.
Local coverage from ClickOrlando highlights that the opening‑day promotion lets guests dressed in cow spots redeem one free entrée or a kid's meal, and notes that Orlando already has more than 20 Chick‑fil‑A restaurants. The outlet also shared a quote from owner‑operator Kyle Weston, who described the new restaurant as a potential "launch pad for success" for team members.
What to Expect on Opening Day
Chick‑fil‑A's announcement spells out how the cow‑spot gimmick will work. Guests who arrive in cow attire can redeem one free entrée or kid's meal inside the restaurant or at the drive‑thru while supplies last. Breakfast options for the offer include the Chick‑fil‑A Chicken Biscuit, Egg White Grill, and 4‑count Chick‑n‑Minis. For lunch and dinner, the choices include the original Chick‑fil‑A Chicken Sandwich, the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, and several nugget options. The company notes the offer is limited to one per person and does not require a purchase.
Owner‑Operator and Community Giveback
Owner‑operator Kyle Weston said his "goal is to build a culture that serves as a launch pad for success," according to ClickOrlando. Weston, who began his Chick‑fil‑A career at eighteen and has operated restaurants in both Florida and California, told the outlet he wants the Avalon Park location to provide mentorship and career pathways for young team members.
The new restaurant adds to Chick‑fil‑A's growing footprint across Central Florida and gives East Orlando yet another quick‑service option. Residents interested in job opportunities or more opening‑day details can check the company's announcement for the latest updates.
