Chick-fil-A could soon be opening in Barrhaven. An application filled with the City of Ottawa to build a shopping centre at 4175 Strandherd Drive includes renderings for a Chick-fil-A restaurant. On Aug. 28, exterior elevations submitted to the city show a building with a Chick-fil-A logo. The application for the development calls for 10 buildings and 498 parking spaces on the lot, including a grocery store, pharmacy, retail stores and restaurants (including drive-through restaurants). The drawings show a No Frills and a Shoppers Drug Mart are planned for the development on Strandherd Drive at Systemhouse Street. The site plans show two locations for drive-through along Strandherd Drive. Earlier this year, an application was filed to build a single-storey fast food restaurant at College Square on Baseline Road, replacing the existing Beer Store. The plans showed the fast-food restaurant would be a Chick-fil-A location. Coun. Laine Johnson said on Monday she had learned the application to build the fast food restaurant at the Beer Store location has been withdrawn by the applicant. Chick-fil-A, the U.S.-based fast-food chain, has three locations in Ottawa – at Tanger Outlets in Kanata, at the Rideau Centre and at 4280 Innes Rd. Chick-fil-A restaurants are always closed on Sunday. The company says Chick-fil-A restaurants are closed on Sundays to “give team members the opportunity to rest, enjoy time with their families and worship if they choose.”
