North Stafford could soon have its second Chick-fil-A restaurant.
The Board of County Supervisors on Tuesday, January 17, will hear a case requesting it to amend land use proffers to allow a fast-food restaurant to be built on a two-acre property near Garrisonville and Shelton Shop roads near a 7-Eleven and CVS Pharmacy.
The fast-food chain aims to build a single-story 5,736 square-foot building with two drive-through lanes and a pass-by lane. The bypass lane would allow vehicles to exit the drive-through lanes if needed.
Customers could enter the development by using an existing entrance on Garrisonville Road. A secondary entrance would be provided from the parking lot of a 7-Eleven store next to the proposed development.
Chick-fil-A will also provide a sidewalk connection from the restaurant to the existing sidewalk along Garrisonville Road.
The restaurant sits on about two acres of undeveloped land, which has been zoned B-2, Urban Commercial, since 2006.
The countyâs planning commission unanimously approved the project last month. The county government staff also recommends the projectâs approval, saying the restaurant will add to a âvibrantâ business community.
The county points out a drawback of the plan â increased traffic at the intersection. The additional traffic generated by the restaurant will add about a five-second delay to the area.
North Stafford High School, a grocery store, McDonaldâs, and a fire station are also site near the new restaurant.
A Chick-fil-A sits in the Doc Stone shopping plaza on Garrisonville Road, about two miles east of the proposed new restaurant. It would be the third Chick-fil-A in Stafford County if approved.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nationâs first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MDâs change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. âThe goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,â he explains. âAchieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.â
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. âI believe thereâs nothing more honorable than helping patients when theyâre sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.â Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, âMy patients know Iâm always just a phone call away.â
