White Plains has a Chick-fil-A. The restaurant at 20 Tarrytown Road, on the Route 119 corridor, opened on Thursday, November 5, at 6:30 a.m., and it now serves breakfast, lunch and dinner six days a week with a dining room, a drive-thru, carry-out and mobile order pickup.

Hours and how to order

Chick-fil-A White Plains is open Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Like every Chick-fil-A, it is closed on Sundays, so plan weekend visits for Saturday. Orders can be placed at the counter, in the drive-thru or ahead of time through the Chick-fil-A app for pickup.

The menu is the chain's standard one, built around the original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich and its nuggets, with breakfast items such as the Chicken Biscuit, the Egg White Grill and Chick-n-Minis served in the morning hours.

The operator spent 25 years with the Yankees

Each Chick-fil-A is run by a local owner-operator chosen by the company, and the White Plains restaurant's is Ben Tuliebitz, who spent 25 years working in public relations for the New York Yankees before leaving sports to run a restaurant. He grew up in the greater New York City area and has said he wants to bring the team-first approach he learned in baseball to the restaurant's staff and to make the restaurant a positive presence in the community.

The restaurant expects to employ about 100 people. Chick-fil-A's announcement points job seekers to the careers page for the White Plains location.

What the opening means for local food banks

To mark the opening, Chick-fil-A, Inc. gave $25,000 to Feeding America to support the hunger relief work of Feeding Westchester, the county's Feeding America partner food bank. The restaurant also takes part in the company's Shared Table program, which sends surplus food to local nonprofits instead of throwing it away. Nationally, the company says the program has helped create more than 50 million meals.

Opening day

The restaurant opened with what it called a Moove-In Party: anyone who arrived on opening day wearing cow spots, whether a full cow costume or a single spotted accessory, could claim a free entree or kid's meal. That offer was for opening day only and has ended.

Getting there

The restaurant is at 20 Tarrytown Road in White Plains, on Route 119 west of downtown. Hours are 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday, closed Sunday.
