(Portland, OR) -- Chick-fil-A plans to open a new restaurant in Portland in early 2026, marking the chain's first location within city limits in nearly two decades. The restaurant will be built at the former Venue Gentleman's Club site in the Mall 205 area along Southeast Stark Street. Company officials say the location will be locally owned and operated and is part of a broader plan to open multiple new restaurants across Oregon by 2027.
