YULEE, Fla. – The beloved Yulee Chick-fil-A restaurant, built in 2004, will soon close to reopen at a new, improved location about a mile down the street on State Road 200.
Exactly 22 years later, the 464004 SR-200 location will officially stop operations on Wednesday, July 8, to prepare for the grand opening of its new location at 463195 SR-200 in the Villages of Amelia shopping center.

The move comes after the original site near the Walmart Supercenter outgrew the space as Yulee’s population surged and demand for the chain’s signature chicken and waffle fries kept rising.
The newly built 5,201-square-foot restaurant will feature a dual drive-thru, 59 parking spaces and 94 indoor seats, according to a report from The Jacksonville Daily Record. It will also include a lane for mobile orders and an indoor playground for the kiddos.
Restaurant officials said the grand opening date would be announced soon, but until then, the community has until July 8 to enjoy building memories at the original site.
