South Lansing Chick-fil-A Plans Revealed: What We Know

News about Chick-fil-A opening a new location in Lansing was some time ago. Now, there's a huge update about when and where we can expect the new fast-food spot.

Restaurants Coming to Lansing

News about Chick-fil-A expanding in Michigan first came back in September 2024. The popular chicken fast-food chain announced that they planned on adding 25 - 30 new locations throughout the Mitten State by the end of 2028.

At that time, they announced two Mid-Michigan locations: Jackson and Lansing. The Jackson location opened in May this year.

Originally it was thought that the South Lansing location would be open sometime in late 2025. Now, we have a more detailed timeline and update.

When and Where Chick-fil-A Will Open in Lansing

Here's what we know:

• The future Chick-fil-A in South Lansing will be located at 6120 S Cedar Street, the former home to University Motor Mall.
• The existing buildings should be demolished within the next month or so.
• Chick-fil-A hopes to begin construction this fall, with plans to open in the spring of 2026.

So, now we know exactly where it's going to be located and an updated timeline on when they hope to be open.

What’s Next for South Lansing’s Growth

Chick-fil-A likely won't be alone in that space. GTZ Property Group is the company that purchased the land and says there's enough space for "one larger building or two smaller buildings." The company hopes to appeal to regional and national businesses to come to the revitalized space.

South Lansing in particular has seen a lot of growth over the last year or so when it comes to new businesses opening. Places like 7 Brew, Panda Express, and Wing-Stop are all new to the area. Who knows what we could see next.
