In late 2022, Hudson Valley Post reported New York State residents will soon be able to order Chick-fil-A at some rest stops across New York, including in the Hudson Valley.

The news of the popular fast-food chain opening up near the Hudson Valley excited many. But at the same time, it's not as exciting as a real store, because you have to be driving on the New York State Thruway to stop at one.

On Wednesday, May 4, the 20,000-square-foot service area officially opened for business at the Plattekill rest stop on the New York State Thruway.
