We're opening Florida's first originally built drive-thru-only location!

"Big things are happening," Chick-fil-A Vero Beach posted on Facebook in April 2024.

This location is the only newly-built Drive-Thru Only (DTO) in the state of Florida!

We will have the newest technology and features like a Mobile Thru lane to make our Guests experience an amazing one!

“It’s our pleasure to confirm we will be opening a new restaurant, Chick-fil-A East Vero Beach, located at 1481 U.S. 1, in late summer 2024. We are excited about the growth in Vero Beach," Chick-Fil-A said via email.

Michael Kelley has been selected as the local owner-operator of Chick-fil-A East Vero Beach, and he will continue operating Chick-fil-A Vero Beach. This new restaurant will also create 80 to 120 jobs.

We are always exploring new restaurant prototypes and formats to better serve our communities. Designed for speed and efficiency, drive-thru focused locations like Chick-fil-A Vero East offers our Guests more convenience. We look forward to serving our Guests delicious food later this summer.
