Chick-fil-A gets the nod from Cherry Hill planners to build on old Friendly’s site near Garden State Park

December 7, 2021

Trends in the restaurant business often embody the notion of “out with the old, in with the new.”

That will be evident near a busy intersection in Cherry Hill at Route 70 and South Cornell Avenue as the now-vacant and traditional Friendly’s restaurant will be torn down to make way for a Chick-fil-A with dual drive-through lanes.

The Cherry Hill Planning Board voted unanimously on Monday night to approve preliminary and final major site plans and bulk variances to build a new 5,147-square-foot Chick-fil-A after it demolishes the existing 4,727-square-foot Friendly’s, which closed in 2018 after 15 years. It is a permitted use under Township zoning ordinances.

An existing Chick-fil-A, without drive-through lanes, in the Garden State Park shopping center will move into the new facility, Clint Mattson, Chick-fil-A’s principal development lead, based in Atlanta, told the Planning Board. He noted the drive-through lanes are an important marketing focus for the restaurants.
