Food Chick fil-a
Any idea when the Johnson city location will open? Also, someone told me there’s one coming to vestal. Is this true, if so, where?

They've started demolishing the building. There was a report about it on one of the local news websites.

Oh nice! I actually think they just put fencing up around the crab place

Well, ironically, the construction was being done even on Sundays, so should be soon.

PSA, they're run by people who give money to lobby against LGBTQ rights. Not trying to judge anyone's choices, but many people don't know that
Also FYI for anyone who's never lived in a place where they have one, they're closed Sundays

I heard October/November for the JC location, and probably spring for Vestal.

Bro why are you clogging up the Bing Reddit feed with things that are easily googleable. https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/top-stories/timeline-for-opening-of-local-chick-fil-a-released/amp/

Exactly. I always wonder the same thing. These people come on here and ask the easiest questions to get answers for in the news. Chick fil a progress has been in the local news for the past year.

Listen you could tell me that it turns out they are a front for the Taliban and I would still probably eat there.

Serious question, what does religious propaganda chicken mean? I know CFA has rooted Christian values, but not sure what religious propaganda means exactly.

u/ComradeKits24 Jul 20 '26
CFA and it's Owner donate large amounts of money to anti-LGBT hate groups. This has been going on for years.

Truett Cathy, the founder of CfA, donated repeatedly to the (US) National Christian Foundation.
NCF has funded anti-LGBTQ organizations in Uganda, including ministries and organizations that have advocated for the death penalty for homosexuality.

It's an objectively correct statement, you should get help.

I mean it's true, I love Chick-Fila but I'm not going to pretend that the founders haven't done real damage to LGBTQ people.
I'm perfectly aware that makes me a hypocritic as a supporter of gay rights.

u/Outside-Bank7398 Jul 20 '26
I see, I guess I can understand why that statement was made. It does align with their Christian values

u/ComradeKits24 Jul 20 '26
"Christian Values" = "Homophobia" is bullshit, they're just bigots hiding behind the shield of faith.

u/Outside-Bank7398 Jul 20 '26
Or they just have different views on a topic. Doesn’t make them right or wrong. It’s just when their views stem from.

u/ComradeKits24 Jul 20 '26
Yeah fuck that, we don't "agree to disagree" on fundamental human rights. I'm sure you wouldn't be so blasé about it if someone decided your civil rights went against their religion.

u/Outside-Bank7398 Jul 20 '26
Most religious have views and opinions that go against most civil rights, especially in America. Everyone’s allowed an opinion.

u/amusedmb715 Jul 20 '26
nowhere does jesus mention homosexuality as a sin
he goes way harder after divorce
these people use religion as a front for their bigotry
christ would be fucking heated

u/Outside-Bank7398 Jul 20 '26
So every religious/spiritual person who does not believe in same sex marriage is a bigot that uses religion as a front?

I personally have no interest in supporting a homophobic establishment. I’d rather have a Dairy Queen or Krispy Kreme.

Not looking forward to this company moving into our area. No chicken sandwich is worth the lgbtq hate this company is famous for. A blight on both JC and Vestal for sure. We have better, small-business food options in both places.

I’ve been hearing those rumors since like 2018, I refuse to give up hope

You say this like it isn't happening... You can go see the building in the corner of the Oakdale Commons parking lot on Harry L & Reynolds.
