Former Marie Callender’s site will be demolished


Hey, Answer Man. I heard through the grapevine that Chick – fil-A is moving into the old Marie Callender’s on Cochrane Road. Is there any truth to that?

Dear Chicken Lover, yes the renowned chicken franchise is opening a restaurant in Morgan Hill. According to Matt Mahan, a conditional use permit and design permit has been approved for an approximately 5,000-square-foot restaurant (Chick-fil-A) with a drive-through on a 1.63 lot. This includes the demolition of the existing restaurant building that should begin very soon.

The project site is located at 18599 Sutter Blvd., on the southwest corner of Cochrane Road and Sutter Boulevard
