Woodbridge, Va. — It has one of the most confusing drive-through lanes of any of the fast food restaurant in the Potomac Communities, but that hasn’t kept away the thousands who clamor for chicken sandwiches.
Chick-fil-A on Prince William Parkway in Woodbridge has been recognized at the top-performing restaurant in the fast food chain.
Restaurant owner/operator Luis Hevia asked PotomacLocal.com not disclose the store’s annual sales figures for 2011, but did say sales rose over several million dollars in 2011.
Chick-fil-A Woodbridge spokeswoman Heidi Dykstra said the location is tops in the country because of where it sits.
“We are blessed with a tremendous location that is so close to I-95 and Potomac Mills. Many of the restaurants located near us do very well here,” said Dykstra.
If any given Saturday afternoon at this fast food restaurant is any indication, Chick-fil-A in Woodbridge does very well with its faithful who order fried and grilled chicken sandwiches with signature waffle fries. In recent months the company has rolled out their version of a spicy chicken sandwich, specialty soup, lighter options like salads, all coupled with breakfast served six days a week – all Chick-fil-A stores are closed on Sundays.
The food is so popular, Prince William police officers are often called on Saturdays to direct traffic in and out of the parking lot, ensuring drivers properly navigate a forced loop around the restaurant’s parking before they can enter the queue for the drive-through window.
There is discussion of opening a second Chick-fil-A location in the Woodbridge area, however, it’s not yet known where it will be built. Dykstra said a new Chick-fil-A will soon be opened this spring in the Springfield area off Backlick Road. Another location in the Potomac Communities sits in on Va. 610 in North Stafford.
Since 1967, Chick-fil-A has opened 1,540 restaurants across the U.S., and continues to close on Sundays, according to its website.
