Biznow reports the chicken-on-a-bun chain has decided Tom Menino has not been mayor long enough and is looking to replace the Boloco at 569 Boylston St. in the Back Bay.

Chick-fil-A tried a couple of times to open in Boston in 2012, but was beaten back, first by Northeastern University, when it wanted to open in a school food court, then by then mayor Tom Menino, when it was looking to replace the Purple Shamrock near Faneuil Hall.

At issue in both cases was the homophobic political activism of the chain's founders.

Last year, Chick-fil-A opened an outlet just south of the Boston line, in a parking lot it shares with Ocean State Job Lot in Dedham.
