In early March, the first and only Chick-fil-A on the Main Line officially opened its doors in the Wayne Shopping Center. Situated roughly 15 minutes from Haverford and right off of Lancaster Avenue, the new establishment is an easy and undeniably delicious option for off-campus lunch. I pass by the new Chick-fil-A regularly, and every time I’ve looked inside, I’ve seen students from nearby schools in line.
In the two times I went inside to order, I ran across Fifth Former Pierce Laveran. Laveran’s go-to order is a “Twelve-piece nugget with a side of fries.”
“It’s a good place to go with friends on the weekend or even on school nights for quick and easy food.”

I myself enjoy the chicken sandwich and an eight-piece, washing it down with a diet lemonade. Laveran mainly appreciates the Chick-fil-A’s convenience.
“It’s a good place to go with friends on the weekend or even on school nights for quick and easy food,” Laveran said.
As a Sixth Former next year, Laveran says that he will visit during the school day.
“A lot of people just go to Chipotle, but that gets old pretty fast, so a new Chick-fil-A would be a nice place to go,” Laveran said.
Other than just customers, the new location also brought over 60 jobs to the Main Line, one of those going to Sixth Former Aeden Shea.
From his experience working there, Shea had positive things to say, stating that the manager was “very nice” and he “enjoyed” his work overall. However, being a brand new franchise locale, a majority of the employees “were new to Chick-fil-A and that made closing take longer than expected.”
Shea said that during the school day, you were most likely to find Villanova students rather than high-schoolers. After 3:15, there were “mostly Radnor students, but since it’s the only Chick-fil-A on the Main Line, people come from all over.”
