WARSAW — It does not appear Chick-fil-A is preparing to open a new restaurant in Warsaw.

InkFreeNews reached out to the company’s corporate office late Friday afternoon after two signs were posted in front of the old Steak ‘n Shake restaurant along US 15 on Warsaw’s north side, claiming Chick-fil-A would open a store at that location.

Attempts to contact a corporate representative Friday, Aug. 3, and Monday, Aug. 5, were unsuccessful. Messages to the corporate office and a store in South Bend were not returned.

An online tool on the company’s website includes a list of future store openings, but it did not reference anything in Warsaw.

The signs, which have now been removed, appear to have been a hoax.

InkFreeNews regrets posting Friday’s story and apologizes for the confusion.
