Chick-fil-A Will Open a Location in Columbia Heights

The rumors are true. Chicken chain Chick-fil-A will open a location in the DCUSA development in Columbia Heights.

A spokeswoman confirms the restaurant, which has a limited presence in D.C. proper, will open a location in late fall at the development. No further details were available.

The company, which often courts controversy due to its owner's political stances on issues like gay marriage, recently became a sponsorship partner for the Washington Nationals.
