Chick-fil-A Planning To Open Location In West Haven: Report

WEST HAVEN, CT — Chick-fil-A is planning to open a drive-thru location at the former Denny’s site on Saw Mill Road in West Haven, according to the New Haven Register.

The Register reports that an application submitted to the West Haven Zoning Board of Appeals for a signage variance identifies Chick-fil-A as the application.

The sign requires the approval of the ZBA because the company’s logo is above the regulated square-footage allotment, according to the Register.

A public hearing will be held on the application for 487 Saw Mill Road at the ZBA’s meeting on Wednesday, April 17, according to the agenda.

The agenda item lists a “request for variances of the Commercial Sign regulations in the Commercial Design (CD) zone pursuant to Section 65 of the City of West Haven Zoning Regulations. Owner: Endurance West Haven, LLC/Applicant: Chic-Fil-A C/O Bohler Engineering.”

Denny’s abruptly closed at the high-traffic location, across from the I-95 Exit 42 exit/on ramp, in September 2022.
