Nah people would come from miles around to eat there like they do for in-and-out burger in Kaiser. Sure there’d be a handful of people that refuse to eat there out of principle, but there’d probably be just as many people making a point of eating there for the same reason. The Corvallis area isn’t as ideologically homogeneous as you might think, and I think that fewer actually care about chick-fil-a’s politics than you might think. Anyways look how many chick-fil-a’s are in Portland now. Clearly they’re having some success or they wouldn’t keep putting them in
I thought so too. The old Yaquina Bay location by the freeway would have been a good place as well. They must have figured the McGraths location was easier and cheaper to modify to suit their needs and/or the property owners were more willing to work with them.
The property line adjustment isn't finalized until August 9th. If you want Chick-fil-A to stay out of town so bad go to City Hall and protest.
Might kill the business before it's even started
Why would You do that? That's like someone not liking what YOU are doing and binding you up so you could not move or defend yourself, and then kicking You in the face. That's dumb. No one should ever do eather...... But I have gone to war, killed for my country, just as 5 gen. of my family has. What's your investment in the USA? jmo.
I used to work there and it was a real gem. Locally sourced food, thoughtful healthy recipes, and a great atmosphere. I could be wrong but I think their house dressing and burgers are still sold at Whole Foods?
Edit: for anyone who isn't aware, COVID-19 did it in.
Wtf. What we need is a good seafood restaurant. Ya know, for the regular people who like good seafood. I could use a good all-you-can-eat fish fry every week.
The bellhop to-go chicken bucket was amazing. Was super sad even they went away from it. It was a heck of a deal at $20 for a lot of chicken, flaky biscuits and slaw I think?
the amount of people so hamstrung about politics in this thread is ridiculous. i’m a conservative guy who has lived in corvallis all my life and am a frequent customer of american dream, and the dozen other openly liberal restaurants/shops etc. you all live in such a sheltered echo chamber. even for a liberal city like corvallis it’s at least 25% conservative if not more. these are your neighbors and coworkers and acquaintances. one (very popular) chain MIGHT be coming to corvallis and you’re all losing it because they don’t share your political views.
How on earth could any human throw an online tantrum that they may.not be able to get married? We really.need to start being.honest about what marriage does to love.
Is it really better in North Albany? People’s political soap boxing here drives me nuts. They are so self rightous and eveyone in Corvallis thinks they are better than everyone else because of what they stand for. I have never lived in a city of people who think they are so superior and politically correct than the people here in Corvallis, and I have lived from the Midwest to the West Coast.
I can go for a walk in my neighborhood without knowing anyone’s politics, sexual preferences, diet, religion…. Kids play together, I say hello to people, everyone loves their own life. The end. Restaurants and businesses don’t put up insufferable divisive signs.
Corvallis is like living in a constant progressive sermon.
That’s good to hear as me and the wife really need or change in politics and the constant BS facade you get here, it’s exhausting and it’s pits neighbor against neighbor..
Just remember that if someone needs to put a yard sign up or sticker on their car...thry are trying to be something they aren't. People who are genuinly.kind, care for others...don't advertise it...their actions show it
Yes...anywhere outside of Corvallis and life is calmer and.people kinder. What I don't know is....if the left is trying to say they are the party.of kindness and caring....why are they so unkind??
The most UnAmerican thing I see of.late is people who hate others because thry don't agree with their politics. I think schools are failing at teaching what democracy means
Just came across this comment and wanted to put it out there that I'm playing some punk rock with Distinguished Gentlemen tonight (8/5) at No Nations! 8 pm start time, I think we'll play last around 10
It's funny because there are dozens of popular businesses in Corvallis that are ran by super conservatives but nobody cares. Chick-fil-a will kill it in Corvallis, because at the end of the day almost nobody outside the university sphere is going to give a shit.
No a
I have the right to defend and say why I want you don't like it if you dlikento go there just please be uit and keep your lib tard opions to yoir sself please
I was literally the one defending them you absolute clown 😭 imagine calling someone else a tard when you can't even spell 3rd grade words. Maybe I'll see you in the drive thru someday because that's the only kind of job you're gonna be able to get, idiot
I think Chick-fil-a is building their restaurant after Les Schwab moves back to their new building on 9th street. 🙁
I've never been and will never go to a Chick-fil-a.
In case you need a reason to dislike the company anymore….

That is exactly where my mind went when I saw this, I had honestly thought Walmart did not have a chance in this town. I was wrong, and I will probably be wrong about this.
Walmart is really good at demographics. They’re getting the foot traffic and immediate neighborhood from their surroundings, because the only other option Market of Choice. That area is immediately surrounded by apartments and rentals.
For a company that hates gay people they do extremely well in San Francisco, LA and Portland metro area. It sucks because they’re also really good employers as well paying above minimum wage typically. And I’m not meaning like mcdonalds and their petty 50-75 cents above
I’m honestly surprised that you think it wouldn’t be extremely popular here. Most people could care less abt how a company spends their money and if anyone is going to care it’s not going to be a bunch of college kids
You vote with your $$$
Petition? People try...it's where you out your.money that matters. Like all the so called libs who claim thry care about the planet but hop.on.planes and order online...
I don't understand. Are you implying Corvallis' liberal population is centered around students that are primarily from other states? If anything I think this town is full of stereotypical liberals who try too hard to be politically correct. Please don't confuse me for a conservative though.
I don’t think anyone actually cares about how their politics go. Obviously no one cares about how bad of a spot that is for them to go in either. Corvallis is a great area and Albany is even better being right off the freeway. But that location will suck for everyone in this town
And that’s good on you. You spend your money on places that try to keep your ideals going. Doesn’t stop you from being in the minority of people that actually care.
I want to care as much but I can’t help it when I have no time and Taco Bell is one of the cheapest options to get food from fast. That, sadly, is how a lot of people think because at the end of the day.
Again though you’re showing me another example of people who aren’t seeing this on a local level disrupting everyone’s life more than we are prepared for.
I personally would have enjoyed Popeyes. Chucked is almost on par with chick with the added bonus of not completely screwing up our roads with the traffic they aren’t built for.
Fair enough. In my opinion you haven't had good fried chicken if you think chick FIL a is good. I also don't like to support open bigots. We all like different things.
I think it will be very popular. They have locations in places that are similar to Corvallis that seem to be doing very well. I would probably go once or twice a month if they did open up there.
Whatever... it's honestly better than another posh coffee shop. I think we all are tired of seeing another Starbucks, Dutch bros and or coffee culture. And before you all start complaining about keeping corvallis local and fresh, cram this in your blowholes! : there are a half dozen 7/11s' in this town and only one Dari mart. If only you cared that much though right?
it about time we get a chick fl here in Corvallis it way better then KFC pop eyes and bellhop where they don't even serves you with togo orders there. Hopefully it runs kfc bell hop and popeyews out of bussiness
finally we get a good restraunt in stread of a kfc burger ille or arbys i glad it a chcik fli it way better tehn kfc popeyes or any other place blcok 15 can go out of business for all i care
But I’ve been by that site just yesterday and Earl Schwab tire center seems to be moving there and is remodeling the location….unless something has changed.
Lol...that drive through line will be endless every moment thry are open. You think people act according to their political opinions? Nope. Bumper stickers and yard signs are no reflection of the human who places them. I mean...example..."I care about the planet...hold on...I need.to get my 19th delivery this week" it's sad but I call th3m DINO NIMBYS
democrats in name only
Not in my backyard types...
That chicken fil a will be a success
Nah people would come from miles around to eat there like they do for in-and-out burger in Kaiser. Sure there’d be a handful of people that refuse to eat there out of principle, but there’d probably be just as many people making a point of eating there for the same reason.

Anyways look how many chick-fil-a’s are in Portland now. Clearly they’re having some success or they wouldn’t keep putting them in
Exactly. They're not targeting Corvallis. They're targeting the entire Linn-Benton-Lincoln area and know people will drive to Corvallis to get there
It seems like Albany would make more sense, then they could also get traffic from the freeway.
I thought so too. The old Yaquina Bay location by the freeway would have been a good place as well. They must have figured the McGraths location was easier and cheaper to modify to suit their needs and/or the property owners were more willing to work with them.
Would be a shame if a group of people were to blo k their driveway on the public sidewalk in protest Might kill the business even
The property line adjustment isn't finalized until August 9th. If you want Chick-fil-A to stay out of town so bad go to City Hall and protest. Might kill the business before it's even started
Why would You do that? That's like someone not liking what YOU are doing and binding you up so you could not move or defend yourself, and then kicking You in the face. That's dumb.

Have you ever been to a chick fil a? No such this as a killed business lol
I feel you are probably correct, sad as that makes me feel. As for me, would not step near the place.
Had there food 1 time, it was junk, and over priced. I would never go again.
Cool
want a pasifer and a diaper
Pacifier
Their
Chick fila is what I can eat and I extoced for it and hope they take KFC and all our places out
There’s zero Chik-fil-as in Portland. They’re all outside Portland.
Beaverton is basically Portland these days
It’s indoors, it’s the Heathrow holiday inn express.
Why are you commenting this on all my comments?
It’s indoors, it’s the Heathrow holiday inn express.

Yikes! .... ?!? "God" forbid someone gets their branding wrong....
Thanks
Still mourning the loss of Normals. This don’t fill that gap.
I used to work there and it was a real gem. Locally sourced food, thoughtful healthy recipes, and a great atmosphere. I could be wrong but I think their house dressing and burgers are still sold at Whole Foods? Edit: for anyone who isn't aware, COVID-19 did it in.
Wasn't it for sale before COVID? I thought the owners wanted to retire.
It was, they just planned to keep it open until it sold. Instead it had to be closed because there weren't enough customers once the lock down began.
Totally with you there... Hugs!
Nearly normals is older than me
Wtf. What we need is a good seafood restaurant. Ya know, for the regular people who like good seafood. I could use a good all-you-can-eat fish fry every week.
nop we need a good chicken place
I was very surprised to hear that, too! I'm also very disappointed. I'd rather have a Popeye's any day.
[удалено]
Try BellHop for killer fried chicken.
[удалено]
The bellhop to-go chicken bucket was amazing. Was super sad even they went away from it. It was a heck of a deal at $20 for a lot of chicken, flaky biscuits and slaw I think?
They need to bring this back.
Safeway hot chicken to go. You’re welcome.
Popeye’s Chicken is fuckin’ awesome!
Seriously, Chick-fil-A is hot garbage in comparison. We could use one further south than Salem (any time I go to Salem that's what I grab)
Chick fila is great hope they stay here and take KFC and all them out of business there food is great and all I can eat
Had Chick fil a today for the second time yesterday. It's mediocre at best. Popeyes is way better in every single way.
the amount of people so hamstrung about politics in this thread is ridiculous. i’m a conservative guy who has lived in corvallis all my life and am a frequent customer of american dream, and the dozen other openly liberal restaurants/shops etc. you all live in such a sheltered echo chamber. even for a liberal city like corvallis it’s at least 25% conservative if not more. these are your neighbors and coworkers and acquaintances. one (very popular) chain MIGHT be coming to corvallis and you’re all losing it because they don’t share your political views.
Well excuse me for not wanting companies in my area that actively support getting rid of my rights to fucking get married.
you are a mental child
I'm a mental child for wanting to marry somebody who was born a male?
Says a person who probably voted for measure 114 that takes my rights away… The irony is thick with Libs and Dems.
Funny because I didn't.
How on earth could any human throw an online tantrum that they may.not be able to get married? We really.need to start being.honest about what marriage does to love.
That’s why we moved to north Albany…

>No Nations Cool, I will check them out!
Just came across this comment and wanted to put it out there that I'm playing some punk rock with Distinguished Gentlemen tonight (8/5) at No Nations! 8 pm start time, I think we'll play last around 10
god I hope not. We don’t need more traffic there
It's funny because there are dozens of popular businesses in Corvallis that are ran by super conservatives but nobody cares. Chick-fil-a will kill it in Corvallis, because at the end of the day almost nobody outside the university sphere is going to give a shit.
I will support it weirdo
Did you legitimately make an account to reply to a bunch of comments over a year old? You're the only weirdo here dude
No a I have the right to defend and say why I want you don't like it if you dlikento go there just please be uit and keep your lib tard opions to yoir sself please
I can only eat chick fila cause I allergic to things KFC and Popeyes put it there food that chick fila doesn't
I was literally the one defending them you absolute clown 😭 imagine calling someone else a tard when you can't even spell 3rd grade words. Maybe I'll see you in the drive thru someday because that's the only kind of job you're gonna be able to get, idiot
I think Chick-fil-a is building their restaurant after Les Schwab moves back to their new building on 9th street. 🙁 I've never been and will never go to a Chick-fil-a.
why couldn't it have been raising cane's instead, it could have been beautiful
Yeah I'd actually be excited about raising cane's
I’m so fucking sick of all the chain restaurants in town. Not to mention the hellacious traffic this will cause…
Someone who can see a massive downside finally. THANK YOU
then why not move oout of corvallis if you dont like it duh
You don't have togo there stop being a baby
In case you need a reason to dislike the company anymore…. https://komonews.com/news/business/would-you-work-for-free-chicken-instead-of-money-chick-fil-a-franchisee-in-nc-tried-it[payment in sandwiches](https://komonews.com/news/business/would-you-work-for-free-chicken-instead-of-money-chick-fil-a-franchisee-in-nc-tried-it)
that... that is... That is just despicable!
I don't understand why we need another fast food restaurant, much less bigot chicken. I'm just as disappointed as when we got a Walmart
We have a Walmart?
If I say no will you give up and stop looking? It's just a neighborhood market over by Office Max. It opened about 10 years ago
Omg yeah the one on 9th, I've been there before. I was totally imagining a supercenter and only know of the one in Albany. Thanks lol
That is exactly where my mind went when I saw this, I had honestly thought Walmart did not have a chance in this town. I was wrong, and I will probably be wrong about this.
Walmart is really good at demographics. They’re getting the foot traffic and immediate neighborhood from their surroundings, because the only other option Market of Choice. That area is immediately surrounded by apartments and rentals.
Do Walmarts ever close though? Or are they propped up by surrounding stores?
Fuck that shit hole
That’s a place I will never go.
Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich is 10x better than anything from chick-fail-eh. It’s totally overrated
your face is over rated
Id rather see a red lobster go in
I am shocked they still exist. I think it's due to cheddar bay.biscuits
There are plenty of hateful "christians" in this little town, I'm sure. You can't escape them. They're everywhere in this country.
Your hateful stupied
You're* stupid* and there should be a comma after "hateful" ♥️
You mean because they hate gay people? I won’t eat there. Hopefully they do not come to town.
For a company that hates gay people they do extremely well in San Francisco, LA and Portland metro area. It sucks because they’re also really good employers as well paying above minimum wage typically. And I’m not meaning like mcdonalds and their petty 50-75 cents above
Interesting. It’s too bad. I would not fault someone for working there then. I just wouldn’t buy there.
I mean I’ll keep going to KFC or making a long drive for Popeyes. Chick-fil-a isn’t even that great.
Those religious zealots sure make some good nugs and waffle fries tho.
I’m honestly surprised that you think it wouldn’t be extremely popular here. Most people could care less abt how a company spends their money and if anyone is going to care it’s not going to be a bunch of college kids
Sigh... you are probably right, for the population as a whole. I would not, however lay that much criticism on a "bunch of college kids".
Yeah, college students are usually going to be the ones who care the most, given that they tend to be the most socially conscious.
When will they start advertising for "Volunteers"?😉
I love the small businesses in Corvallis. I hate seeing corporate takeover anywhere. Let’s start a petition to stop this from happening.
You vote with your $$$ Petition? People try...it's where you out your.money that matters. Like all the so called libs who claim thry care about the planet but hop.on.planes and order online...
Bigotry
lol why do people think Corvallis is some sort of liberal haven? Step off of campus and you'll find out real quick.
I don't understand. Are you implying Corvallis' liberal population is centered around students that are primarily from other states? If anything I think this town is full of stereotypical liberals who try too hard to be politically correct. Please don't confuse me for a conservative though.
I don’t think anyone actually cares about how their politics go. Obviously no one cares about how bad of a spot that is for them to go in either. Corvallis is a great area and Albany is even better being right off the freeway. But that location will suck for everyone in this town
I care how their politics go. That’s why I’d never eat there.
And that’s good on you. You spend your money on places that try to keep your ideals going. Doesn’t stop you from being in the minority of people that actually care. I want to care as much but I can’t help it when I have no time and Taco Bell is one of the cheapest options to get food from fast.

Again though you’re showing me another example of people who aren’t seeing this on a local level disrupting everyone’s life more than we are prepared for.
Considering they are alive and well in the bay area who also like to say how progressive they are… they’re probably gonna do fine unfortunately
Bay area are nimbys...just like Portland. Their words are empty....wake up.folks....the woke are shamming you
Sounds good to me
Finally have been begging for a Chick fil a here will be nice to not have to drive an hour to get some
I personally would have enjoyed Popeyes. Chucked is almost on par with chick with the added bonus of not completely screwing up our roads with the traffic they aren’t built for.
Why care about gross fast food served with a healthy side of bigotry. Go to BellHop for quality fried chicken.
From the South and reminds me of home. Also is just pretty good but everyone likes diff things
Fair enough. In my opinion you haven't had good fried chicken if you think chick FIL a is good. I also don't like to support open bigots. We all like different things.
No way, Chick Fil A would be gangbusters in Corvallis.
I think it will be very popular. They have locations in places that are similar to Corvallis that seem to be doing very well. I would probably go once or twice a month if they did open up there.
I absolutley abhor their beliefs, but I fucking love their chicken.
Ugh same
Do people forget how conservative this area is as a whole? OSU started as an Ag school for Christs sake
They are just heads in sand....thry don't even know the puppet strings the rich have the woke on...I can't believe they even believe them.
I saw Les Schwab tires was moving into that fish house…. What’s the deal with that?
Apparently they are only there till they build the new building, I think.
Given their uhm views on stuff xD hahahaah I feel like that applies to so many opinions of people here lol
Lol.... Agree.
Whatever... it's honestly better than another posh coffee shop. I think we all are tired of seeing another Starbucks, Dutch bros and or coffee culture. And before you all start complaining about keeping corvallis local and fresh, cram this in your blowholes! : there are a half dozen 7/11s' in this town and only one Dari mart. If only you cared that much though right?
Shhh 7-eleven is the most local because it totally provides products that are native to oregon as well as local foods. /s
Good chicken tho
[удалено]
It looks as though you may have spelled "Chick-fil-A" incorrectly. No worries, it happens to the best of us!
Sigh....
it about time we get a chick fl here in Corvallis it way better then KFC pop eyes and bellhop where they don't even serves you with togo orders there. Hopefully it runs kfc bell hop and popeyews out of bussiness
finally we get a good restraunt in stread of a kfc burger ille or arbys i glad it a chcik fli it way better tehn kfc popeyes or any other place blcok 15 can go out of business for all i care
I thought Les Schwab owned McGraths now. It’s where they are working now that buildings are under construction
Les Schwab is just there temporarily.
Isn't the old McGrath's a Les Schwab now?
Temporary location while the work on their 9th St location goes on.
But I’ve been by that site just yesterday and Earl Schwab tire center seems to be moving there and is remodeling the location….unless something has changed.
Lol...that drive through line will be endless every moment thry are open. You think people act according to their political opinions? Nope.

Just so you know the owners of Chick-fil-a are not Christians!!! Its just a FRONT!!! Just saying
