Plans Change for Chick-Fil-A Restaurant Coming to Brick
Company negotiating a new location in town, company spokeswoman says
Final major site plans for the construction of a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Brick were scheduled to be unveiled Wednesday night before a public hearing at the township's planning board meeting, however a site location change has delayed the proposed project.
Original plans for the Chick-fil-A placed the fast-food restaurant at 520 Route 70, in the Lowe's Home Improvement shopping center plaza. It was slated to be a freestanding building north of the driveway between Lowe's and the Raymour and Flannigan furniture store. While the company would not reveal the new location of the lot, it said the restaurant will still be constructed as a freestanding building on its own lot on the Lowe's property.
Brenda Morrow, corporate public relations consultant for Chick-fil-A, said the company is in the midst of negotiating the property, and could not confirm any plans until the property is under contract.

Brick Township Planning Board secretary Judy-Fox Nelson said a new date will be set for a public hearing once Chick-fil-A presents new plans to the board.
The restaurant chain has been honing its plans to set up shop in Brick for at least a year. The Ocean County Planning Board signed off on the restaurant's previously planned location in June 2010.
