A long-time Burger King has closed.<\/p>\n

A longtime Burger King that has been a familiar stop for west Mississauga residents has closed, and its departure appears to be clearing the way for a new Chick-fil-A at the site.<\/p>\n

The restaurant was located at 2460 Winston Churchill Boulevard at the southwest corner of Dundas Street West.<\/p>\n

While technically an Oakville address, the plaza is a popular shopping destination for residents in both communities, particularly people living in west Mississauga.<\/p>\n

The Burger King closed without warning recently, and the building now sits empty awaiting its future.<\/p>\n

And that future likely is a conversion into a Chick-fil-A restaurant.<\/p>\n

The Town of Oakville continues to list the location as an active site plan application by Chick-fil-A. The plans call for the existing single-storey fast-food restaurant to be demolished and replaced with a new single-storey restaurant with a double drive-through.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The application has also progressed since the proposal was first reported<\/a> by INSAUGA Canada earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The town\u2019s development file shows multiple rounds of submissions, including revised plans submitted in February and another round of documents submitted in April.<\/p>\n

The latest plans call for a Chick-fil-A of about 418 square metres, or roughly 4,500 square feet, along with a patio and a double drive-through.<\/p>\n

There is still no confirmed opening date, and the proposal must complete the town\u2019s planning and approval process before construction can proceed.<\/p>\n

For Mississauga residents, however, the proposed restaurant would be considerably closer than the address might suggest.<\/p>\n

The site is just west of Winston Churchill Boulevard\u2019s Mississauga-Oakville boundary, and the plaza is anchored by familiar retailers including Winners, SportChek and Staples.<\/p>\n

The Burger King had been a fixture at the location for at least 20 years.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A once popular Burger King now sits empty.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

That history means the proposed redevelopment represents more than simply another fast-food restaurant opening for people in the area. A familiar business used by residents for years is disappearing, with a popular American chicken chain poised to take its place.<\/p>\n

Chick-fil-A already has two Mississauga restaurants, at Square One and Heartland Town Centre. There is also one planned for Erin Mills Town Centre.<\/p>\n

If approved and built, the Winston Churchill Boulevard restaurant would be the first Chick-fil-A in Oakville \u2014 while remaining within a short drive for thousands of Mississauga residents.<\/p>\n

Chick-fil-A\u2019s arrival would also give west Mississauga residents another nearby option for the chain\u2019s chicken sandwiches, nuggets, strips and other menu items without having to travel farther east into Mississauga.<\/p>\n

For now, though, the most noticeable change is the one that has already happened: after years at the busy Winston Churchill Boulevard and Dundas Street West intersection, the Burger King is gone.<\/p>\n

The next question is whether Chick-fil-A will soon take its place.<\/p>\n
