Chick-fil-A will officially open its doors in Westwood Village this spring.

The location at 900 Westwood Boulevard will open in late May or early June, according to the chicken chain.

The restaurant replaces the Burger King restaurant 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.
