According to TylerPaper.com, a company spokesperson for Golden Chick has confirmed they will be the new inhabitants at 205 WSW Loop 323 in the spring of 2023.

Honestly, I'm happy about this one. As far as fast food hot spots go, I've always been a fan of Golden Chick. I remember when I was a kid living in Bastrop, Texas, I used to beg my parents to take me there after church almost every Sunday. I wonder if they still have those pepper puppies? OMG, so good.

This won't be the first Golden Chick location in East Texas, though. According to the Golden Chick website, there are already locations in Longview, Emory, Mineola, and Gun Barrel City. And now, we'll have one in Tyler, too.
