Codell Construction of Winchester, Kentucky has been selected as the general contractor for the new Chick-fil-A facility on the Tusculum campus in Greeneville.
According to David Martin, director of facilities and campus safety, construction is now underway. All demolition work on the new site, which is located in the Niswonger Commons student center was completed previously in preparation for the contractor selection.
Martin added that the project is moving along well, with underground plumbing installed and electrical work begun.
The target date for the restaurant to open is July 31.
According to Dr. James Hurley, president of Tusculum, the plans are for the Chick-fil-A to be open six days a week, closed on Sunday, as are all Chick-fil-A franchises. The Tusculum Chick-fil-A will offer breakfast, lunch and dinner options and will be open to the community.
“This is an exciting time for the entire community,” said Dr. Hurley, “We are all waiting in anticipation of the opening of the new Chick-fil-A just prior to the beginning of our fall semester.”
