Local reports say the historic restaurant is set to close for good in the next couple of days.
The reasons for the closure were not immediately clear, but according to
, the Greenbriar Mall has struggled with shopper traffic and store tenants in recent years. It lost its largest store at the time, Macy's, in 2021. Chick-fil-A did not immediately respond to our queries about the reasons behind the closure.The closure will mark the end of a"groundbreaking" restaurant that Chick-fil-A says was one of the first eateries inside a shopping mall.
When the Greenbriar location first started welcoming customers in 1967, the Chick-fil-A experience was very different. Back then, the menu was limited to lemonade, lemon pie, coleslaw, salads with boneless chicken breast, and the original fried chicken sandwich, which was only 59 cents at the time. While the restaurant did sell french fries, Chick-fil-A didn't add its famous Waffle Fries to the menu until the mid-1980s.
A plaque was eventually installed at the mall restaurant marking it as the first Chick-fil-A location. "From this location, Chick-fil-A has grown to become one of the largest privately owned restaurant chains in the nation," the plaque reads."Thank you to all Greenbriar Mall patrons of the past, present and future."
