Chick-fil-A Opening Pushed Back in Westwood

It looks like Westwood's Chick-fil-A won't officially open until sometime this summer.

The Village location at 900 Westwood Boulevard will likely open in late June or early July, according to a representative from the chicken chain, though an opening date has not been set. The eatery was projected to open in late May or early June.

The restaurant replaces the Burger King on Westwood Boulevard and is currently under construction.

Chick-fil-A came under fire last July after its CEO made comments in opposition to gay marriage and it was widely reported that the chain had made contributions to political groups that oppose the legalization of gay marriage.

The chain also has locations in Hollywood, Torrance, Lakewood, Cerritos and at USC.
