A Chick-fil-A is opening up in the parking lot of Merritt Square Mall in Merritt Island, Fla. — a few hundred feet from an already established Chick-fil-A sitting in the shopping center’s food court.

America’s favorite fast food chain announced the move on its Chicken Wire blog, saying, “Chick-fil-A Operator Kersh Peterson is excited to serve the Merritt Island Community soon!”
