Gastonia Chick-fil-A will relocate after original site closes this summer, interim manager says

GASTONIA, N.C. — Gastonia’s only Chick-fil-A is closing its location this summer, meaning more than 100 employees will be without jobs.

The interim manager of the franchise sent a letter to North Carolina’s rapid response team, saying the store on East Franklin Boulevard will close on June 15.

Around 117 workers are impacted by the closure and the letter states there is no guarantee of future employment within the company for those workers.

Channel 9 has learned a new Gastonia location will be opening at 424 Cox Rd. later in the year.

Channel 9 has reached out to the restaurant to find out why it’s closing, how many employees will retain their job, and how long the wait will be between the old site closing and the new one reopening.
