LATEST: CHICK-FIL-A SAYS CHEEKTOWAGA WORK "INTENDED" TO START NEXT WEEK

Following a war of words between a Cheektowaga Councilmember and the town Supervisor, Chick-fil-A says they do expect to begin construction next week on their first WNY location on Walden Ave.

CHEEKTOWAGA, NY —Chick-fil-A says construction is intended to start next week on their first WNY location, on Walden Ave. in Cheektowaga, not far from the Walden Galleria.

2 On Your Side reached out to the company following a war of words between Cheektowaga Councilmember Jim Rogowski and the Town Supervisor, Diane Benczkowski.

Councilman Rogowski told 2 On Your Side Wednesday the project would break ground on Monday or Tuesday.

However, a news release issued Thursday by Town Supervisor Diane Benczkowski said that would not happen and no start date had been determined as of yet.

"While we are very disappointed, said Benczkowski, "we are looking forward to Chick-fil-A conducting business in our town once all the requirements and appropriate permits have been approved."

Chick-fil-A spokesperson Jackie Jags issued the following statement to reconcile the two conflicting claims: "We are very excited to join the Cheektowaga community and can confirm that our intent is to begin construction next week."

Could the issue be this from a Buffalo News article?

The land is owned by Morgan Cheektowaga LLC, a limited liability company connected to Rochester developer and landlord Robert Morgan. Two executives of Morgan's companies were indicted Tuesday on charges of wire and bank fraud involving unrelated apartment complexes.

That still doesn't mean a war of words. I think channel 2 needs to start titling their stories a little better
