Coming soon to Tucson:
The old Krispy Kreme building in front of El Con mall will be Tucson’s first free standing Chick-fil-A restaurant. The sign says coming soon, but there’s no mention of this Tucson site on the corporate website.
I wonder if it will be open in time for Thanksgiving. I’m hosting the family at my house this year, and I’ve got a young niece and nephew that are ga-ga for their chicken nuggets.
Sign up now for a Free Chicken Sandwich and Coke before it’s too late!
If you’re a true devotee, you’ll be one of the first 100 in line when the store opens, to receive a free combo meal every week for a year.
The “Fil-A” is right across from the recently opened In-N-Out burger (evidently, a location that attracts restaurants with hyphens in their name…). The In-N-Out drive through line has been known to snake around this Chick-fil-A building during prime meal times. Let the parking lot chaos begin!

The sweet tea alone has added about 20 pounds to my frame … I swear they’re putting heroin in it.

Sweet tea? (shudders…)

I’m in shock to read that a Krispy Kreme went out of business… or did they move to a new location?
Either way that seems really strange to me as they have to be one of the most addictive brands of donuts.

Krispy Kreme invaded Tucson en masse a couple years ago - and then went bankrupt, at least locally, shortly thereafter. I think they may still do wholesale, to grocery stores and other places, but their stand-alone shops all closed.
Addictive, indeed. Now I’m craving donuts…

Not one but TWO Chick-fil-A locations are expected to open in Tucson on the same day, Thursday, November 29th. One at El Con Mall and one at Oracle Road and Automall Drive across from the Tucson Mall.
We look forward to serving the community.
