A new Chick-fil-A location will open in Moscow at 2124 W Pullman Road, in the same parking lot as the Palouse Place Mall, Thursday, March 12, at 6:30 a.m. The only Chick-fil-A location currently open Moscow is on the University of Idaho campus, which will have no changes because of this new location, according to Idaho Eats Marketing Director Eldon Nelson.
“We are excited to hear that more options are available to the community. Our Chick-fil-A on campus will continue serving the campus community, providing the convenience of dining on campus to all students and faculty/staff members,” Nelson said.
The Pullman Road location will serve a whole menu and accept Chick-fil-A gift cards, services that are not currently available at the UI campus location.
According to a public relations representative for Chick-fil-A Inc., the location is owned and will be operated by Josh Altmeyer, from Spokane, Washington.
Prior to the opening of the Moscow location, the nearest fully operating Chick-fil-A was located 87 miles away in Spokane. The opening of this location will bring 115 jobs to Moscow.
As part of the grand opening, the Pullman Road location will have a “Moove-In Party” where guests of all ages who show up dressed in cow spots or cow-spotted accessories can redeem one free entrée or kids’ meal in the restaurant or drive thru.
Chick-fil-A is a fast-food restaurant famous for their chicken-only menu and was founded in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1946 by S. Truett Cathy, who was a Southern Baptists. All Chick-fil-A locations are closed Sunday, which has been tradition since their founding to give their employees a day to worship and rest, according to the Chick-fil-A website.
