Chick-fil-A at the Augusta Exchange is moving—but not far.

Currently the Augusta Exchange location of the popular restaurant chain is located at 202 Robert C. Daniel Jr. Parkway. But plans submitted to Augusta’s planning department early this year show development aimed at the other side of the west Augusta shopping center, at 276 Robert C. Daniel Parkway.

This is the former location of O’Charley’s, which closed in spring of last year. The new Chick-fil-A is expected to open next year.
