BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Chick-fil-A is getting closer to opening its much-anticipated new location in Bridgewater.

Rhiannon Youngbauer, spokesperson with the fast-food restaurant, told Patch the location in the Bridgewater Towne Center is slated to open in June.

The Bridgewater Planning Board approved Chick-fil-A's application to open at the long-vacant former Ruby Tuesday location at the 754 Route 202 in January 2025.

Construction began in November 2025 and now as the opening gets closer Chick-fil-A is looking to hire 100 full- and part-time Team Members.

"Local Owner-Operator Paul Daniels is excited to serve the Bridgewater community by offering a welcoming, purpose-driven environment with meaningful career opportunities for Team Members," said Youngbauer.
