Is Chick-fil-A Opening in Turlock, CA?
Yes — Chick-fil-A is officially opening its first restaurant in Turlock, California, on Thursday, August 6, 2026. The new location, operating under the name Chick-fil-A Countryside & Tuolumne, will be Turlock’s very first Chick-fil-A and the first in Stanislaus County entirely.
Location & Address
The new restaurant sits at 2630 W. Tuolumne Road, Turlock, CA, on a roughly 2.5-acre parcel between Dick’s Sporting Goods and Texas Roadhouse near Monte Vista Crossings, one of Turlock’s busiest retail corridors. The building itself covers close to 5,000 square feet, with more than 70 parking spaces and two dedicated drive-thru lanes to help manage what’s expected to be heavy opening-week traffic.
Opening Date & Hours
Doors open at 6:30 a.m. on Thursday, August 6, 2026. Going forward, the location will operate Monday through Saturday starting at 6:30 a.m. — Chick-fil-A famously closes on Sundays company-wide, and this location will follow that same tradition.
What to Expect
The Turlock location will offer the full range of ways to order that Chick-fil-A is known for:
- Dine-in and carry-out
- Drive-thru (two lanes)
- Mobile Thru pickup
- Third-party delivery
Like every Chick-fil-A, expect the signature chicken sandwich, nuggets, and waffle fries, along with the chain’s well-known sauce lineup — Chick-fil-A Sauce, garden herb ranch, honey mustard, sweet and spicy Sriracha, zesty buffalo, and Polynesian. The restaurant is locally owned and operated and is expected to create more than 100 jobs in the Turlock area.
Why It’s Coming to Turlock
City officials have been courting Chick-fil-A since plans were first announced in late 2024. Turlock’s economic development team has pointed to the city’s population of about 72,000, a surrounding trade area of roughly 500,000 people within 20 miles, and the presence of Stanislaus State University as key reasons national chains are increasingly looking at the city. Chick-fil-A’s arrival follows a broader wave of retail growth around the Monte Vista Crossings area.
