Chick-fil-A restaurants planned for south Nashville, MetroCenter South Nashville location planned for Jonny's Sports Bar site near Nolensville Pike and Old Hickory Boulevard

A Chick-fil-A restaurant with a drive-thru is planned for property near Nolensville Pike and Old Hickory Boulevard in south Nashville that currently houses Jonny's Sports Bar.

The 4,138-square-foot fast-food restaurant planned for 5805 Nolensville Pike is one of two new Chick-fil-A locations in the works for Nashville. A late September opening is targeted for another location with a drive-thru, which will share space in a building that houses a Subway restaurant on Rosa L. Parks Boulevard in the MetroCenter area.

The new openings would bring six Chick-fil-A locations around Nashville. "We are always evaluating potential new locations in the hopes of serving existing and new customers great food with remarkable service,” said Brenda Morrow, spokeswoman for the Atlanta-based Christian-oriented chain known for selling chicken sandwiches.

On July 13, the Metro Planning Commission will consider a request to revise the preliminary plan and for final site plan approval for a planned unit development overlay district on the south Nashville site where Chick-fil-A could replace Jonny's Sports Bar.

Plans that Akron, Ohio-based civil engineering firm GBC Design Inc. submitted to the planning commission shows the Chick-fil-A restaurant in a one-story building with 82 seats inside and 45 parking spaces. Marathon Properties LLC is the current owner of that location at the northwest corner of Brentwood East Drive and Nolensville Pike.

John Moore is the franchisee for the planned Chick-fil-A in MetroCenter, which he said will be the first with a separate entrance where people that order using digital devices can pick up their food more quickly. A year ago, Moore opened a Chick-fil-A inside the Tennessee Tower state office building at 312 Rosa L. Parks in downtown Nashville.
