Lawton’s about to get a little louder on the west side, and it’s all thanks to chicken.

Chick-fil-A is opening a brand new location at 82nd and Cache Road, and the grand opening is set for Thursday, November 20th. If you’ve driven by lately, you’ve probably already seen the traffic picking up from folks slowing down just to peek at the place. Happens every time we get something in town.

What’s Planned for Opening Day

They’re going all out for opening day too. We’re talking cow appearances, face painting for the kids, giveaways sprinkled throughout the day, and that whole fun, slightly chaotic “first day energy” that everyone enjoys so much.

The drive-thru will be rolling bright and early at 6am, and the dining room opens at 7am if you want to actually sit down. Open all day, dining room until 9pm and drive-thru til 10.

And honestly, it’ll be really nice having CFA on the West side of town. Nobody will be mad about having one less reason to drive across town.

So if you’re around on the 20th, swing by, grab a bite, check out the festivities, and welcome Chick-fil-A Lawton West to the neighborhood.

Here are the Oklahoma original restaurants that have been featured on Triple-D.
