The top chicken selling fast-food chain in America is finally coming to Bangor by 2016.

This Southern based fast-food chain is a favorite among the people in the south as well as those who travel there. Now Chick-fil-A is planning an expansion bringing the restaurant to all of New England including Maine by 2016.

The plans for the new location in Bangor would seat 150 people inside with outside dining options as well. The expected location will be off Stillwater Avenue near the Mall.

According to BloombergBusiness the chain currently generates more than $5 billion in sales annually, surpassing rivals Kentucky Fried Chicken. Profits continue to climb despite anti-same-sex marriage remarks from the CEO Dan Cathy back in 2012. This put the fast-food chain in hot water but they seem to be recovering just fine.
