The countdown is on for the grand opening of the new Chick-fil-A in Latham, and opening day is shaping up to be a pretty fun one.
After 5 years, the Latham Chick-fil-A on Troy Schenectady Road will open on Thursday, May 14th. If you plan on stopping by, there is a tasty bonus waiting for anyone dressed in cow print. Show up wearing anything cow-themed, and you can score a free entrée or kids’ meal during the grand opening celebration.
Who Is Running This Location?
The new location is locally owned by Jeremiah Mills Lamptey, who actually started working with Chick-fil-A back in high school. Over the years, he worked his way up while building leadership experience at the Clifton Park Center restaurant, and now he is leading the newest Capital Region spot. The restaurant is also bringing around 120 new jobs to the area.
This will become the fourth freestanding Chick-fil-A in the Capital Region, joining locations in Clifton Park, North Greenbush, and Albany. There is also a location inside Albany International Airport. The chain has hinted that another Capital Region restaurant could open before the end of 2029, although no location has been announced yet.
