A new Chick-fil-A restaurant at the Clarksburg Premium Outlets has a grand opening date: Thursday, September 24. The 6,350-square-foot restaurant, tucked between Cabin Branch Parkway and the outlet center's upper parking lot at 22675 Clarksburg Road, will become the tenth Chick-fil-A location operating in Montgomery County.
The opening date was confirmed by The MoCo Show, which has tracked the project's progress since the county issued a $1.4 million building permit in January 2026 to construct the restaurant. That permit followed the Montgomery County Planning Board's spring 2024 approval of Site Plan Amendment No. 82014016C, which authorized the restaurant and its drive-thru, according to the county planning department's own site plan records.
Filling a Gap in Cabin Branch
The Clarksburg Premium Outlets project includes a new Chick-fil-A restaurant and drive-thru.
Kayla Anderson, a 27-year veteran of the Chick-fil-A system who already runs the Germantown Town Center store, is listed in Chick-fil-A's own site records as owner and operator of the new Clarksburg location. Her dual role reflects how franchise leadership is being shared across the company's expanding Upcounty footprint.
Easing Germantown's Drive-Thru Gridlock
The Clarksburg restaurant is not an isolated addition. Chick-fil-A has also proposed a location in Germantown's Milestone area.
A second Upcounty location has been proposed in Germantown's Milestone area. The Clarksburg restaurant is scheduled to open Thursday, September 24, 2026.
Part of a Broader Maryland Expansion
Montgomery County's fast-food landscape now includes Chick-fil-A locations in Bethesda, Gaithersburg, Germantown, Olney, Rockville and Silver Spring, alongside the new Clarksburg store. The chain's growth has not been limited to Montgomery County. In March 2026, Hoodline reported that Chick-fil-A submitted plans to redevelop a former Bertucci's pizzeria at Snowden Square in Columbia into a fast-casual store with a drive-thru, giving Columbia its fourth Chick-fil-A location.
The Clarksburg project is in Maryland.
The company is also pursuing other projects in Maryland. Together, the Clarksburg opening and the Snowden Square redevelopment are part of its Maryland footprint.
