A Long Island story

This is Chick-fil-A number 14 on Long Island and number 9 in Suffolk. Local owner-operator Sam Nesbitt is running the show.

Remember the first one? Port Jefferson Station, Oct. 7, 2015. People lined up the day before. Since then the chain has landed in Selden, East Meadow and Bohemia, and two more are in the works in Bay Shore and Riverhead, with no dates yet.

Will Lake Ronkonkoma camp out too? We’ll find out next Thursday. Keep it locked to WLIT.FM, Long Island Tonight Radio.
