Chick-fil-A reopens in new building, offers expanded drive-thru in Sandy Springs

The Chick-fil-A at 5925 Roswell Road in Sandy Springs reopened on Thursday morning in a brand new building.

The old building was demolished seven months ago to make way for the new one. The restaurant has operated in the community for 31 years with owner-operator Lawson Bailey as the independent franchisee for Chick-fil-A Sandy Springs.

The restaurant will be open for dine-in, drive-thru, carry-out, and delivery from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday. It features an expanded footprint with a dual-lane drive-thru

Bailey remains responsible for all day-to-day business activities, including employing approximately 100 full- and part-time employees. Forty new team members will begin working at the restaurant following the reopening.

Bailey, a Georgia native has served for over three decades as the local owner-operator of the Sandy Springs location and at Perimeter at Hammond. He got his first job with Chick-fil-A, where he earned a Chick-fil-A Remarkable Futures Scholarshi p and also met his wife, Michelle.

“Alongside my wife Michelle, who will onboard new team members, we are excited to reopen our doors and continue serving the Sandy Springs community,” Bailey said, according to the release. “We look forward to welcoming back familiar faces and meeting new ones while providing the genuine hospitality and delicious food they know and love.”

Bailey’s restaurant participates in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table program, an initiative that redirects surplus food from the restaurant to local soup kitchens, shelters, food banks, and nonprofits in need.
