Chick-fil-A on Youree Drive in Shreveport is set to expand, replacing the current 4,050 square foot restaurant with a larger, 5,924 square foot facility.

Shreveport—A Chick-fil-A on Youree Drive is poised for significant expansion with plans to construct a new, larger restaurant. The existing location at 7010 Youree Drive will remain operational during the construction phase, which has begun with the demolition of a former CVS building nearby.
The new Chick-fil-A will increase in size from its current 4,050 square feet to a spacious 5,924 square feet, allowing the restaurant to better accommodate customers and streamline service. The enhancements include an improved design featuring longer dual waiting lines to better manage vehicle traffic on-site. These lines will begin on Youree Drive, transition onto 70th Street, and curve toward the back of the restaurant and pickup zone.
Inside, the new restaurant will provide 76 seats and an outdoor patio, creating a more inviting dining environment. Additionally, patrons will benefit from increased parking spaces that surpass what is currently available, further easing congestion during peak hours.
The current Chick-fil-A building will remain in use during this transition. Once the new restaurant opens, the smaller building is anticipated to undergo renovations and could potentially be used for another business.
Local residents have expressed positive feedback regarding Chick-fil-A’s commitment to quality service and customer satisfaction. The expanded facility aims to enhance the already popular drive-thru experience while fostering continued loyalty among its clientele.
The decision to construct a larger restaurant comes as no surprise, given Chick-fil-A’s reputation for efficient service and quality food. Many regular customers have voiced their appreciation for the consistent meals and trained staff that the restaurant provides. The efforts to improve and expand its footprint align to meet growing demand in the Shreveport area.
The Chick-fil-A project on Youree Drive is part of a broader trend of restaurants seeking to enhance their operational capacity and customer experience. As the demand for fast, quality dining options continues to rise, businesses are looking to adapt by providing more space and better service.
