Now that Chick-fil-A has opened in Bozeman, there’s a rush of people eager to try it out. The popular chain finally opened last week after months of anticipation on the Montana State University campus in the Strand Union Building. It’s been big news.
Montana has its share of chain restaurants and stores. Whenever locals are asked what they’d like to see come to town, In-N-Out, Trader Joe’s, and Chick-fil-A are always top choices.
Recently, on social media, many people were asking where to park on campus to get their hands on Chick-fil-A’s famous sandwiches and nuggets. While I’m a fan, I’m not ready to stand in line for a chicken sandwich or risk a parking ticket for parking in the wrong spot.
While it’s great that Bozeman has a Chick-fil-A, a big question is whether they’ll build another one in town for regular folks.
There’s been a rumor for a year or two that they might open a second location in the city. Depending on who you ask, a couple of locations have already been picked, though nothing has been confirmed.
For those who love chicken sandwiches but don’t want the hassle of going to campus, there are other options. You can hope that Door Dash or Uber Eats will deliver (Chick-fil-A’s website says they don’t deliver in our area), or you can try one of the great chicken sandwich spots around town. Here are some of the best:
