Chick-fil-A plans three Maine restaurants for 2027

Chick-fil-A plans to open three restaurants in Maine—in Biddeford, South Portland and Auburn—by early 2027, expanding from its current locations in Bangor and Westbrook to five statewide. The expansion is expected to create about 300 jobs, with the company citing training, benefits and scholarship opportunities. The new restaurants will also contribute a total of $75,000 to Good Shepherd Food Bank; construction on the South Portland location at the Maine Mall began in June.
