GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — Gloucester Township could get a Chick-fil-A under a proposal that the Planning Board is set to review on Tuesday.

The developer, Main Street MDT LLC, wants to build the restaurant in a vacant lot on 400 Premium Outlets Dr. Main Street MDT has proposed a 5,400-square-foot building with multiple drive-thru lanes.

If approved, Chick-fil-A will go on the corner of Premium Outlets and Zimmerman drives. Main Street DMT reached an agreement to purchase the property from Gloucester Premium Outlets, which is down the road.
