We always love to hear about new restaurants opening in East Texas. Especially when that includes new locations of some of our favorite restaurants.

Another Chick-fil-A Is Coming to Tyler

We heard earlier this week that a new Chick-fil-A location will be opening in Tyler, Texas in 2027. There are already six operating Chick-fil-A locations in Tyler but we love their chicken so much another location is on the way.

Currently, there are three standalone drive-thru locations, there is also a Chick-fil-A inside Broadway Square Mall and two campus locations at UT Tyler and Tyler Junior College.

Ruby’s Also Expanding in South Tyler

We also heard earlier this week that Ruby’s will be opening a new location in South Tyler. While we don’t have the exact location of the new Ruby’s, we know that it will be south of Loop 49, so all residents in the Gresham, Flint, and Bullard area will soon have a new place to enjoy tacos.

While it’s exciting to see some of our favorite restaurants opening new locations remember to support these businesses if we want them to be around for years to come.
