Construction of the building at the Oakdale Commons in Johnson City has been completed. The site previously had been occupied by a Key Bank branch, which was demolished last November.

The signs are up and the lights are on at the new restaurant.

A Chick-fil-A spokesperson told WNBF News on September 22 the Johnson City location is expected to open in mid-October.
