If you've ever been stuck in the drive-thru at Fort Mill's Chick-fil-A at Baxter Village, we've got some good news. The Fort Mill planning commission recently approved the request to add a second lane.
Traffic jams at Charlotte-area Chick-fil-A restaurants are nothing new, which is why the Fort Mill store is hoping this new lane will keep cars moving.
"I too have spent more time than I'd care to in the drive-thru line," James Traynor said.
The request to add a second lane was approved with some minor tweaks. First, Chick-Fil-A must make changes to their signage and lighting so they meet town fire standards. Second, the new drive-thru lane will replace nine existing parking spaces to prevent overcrowding.
"Which I think, practically, is a good change," said Matt Lucarelli. "I've been in that drive-thru lane before, and if someone exits the restaurant and tries to get out and there's 20 cars in a line, they simply can't get out until they find someone nice enough to let them out."
