Chick-fil-A is Quentin Mitchellset to open a new restaurant at the site of a strip club in Portland, Oregon, that recently saw a deadly shooting take place in its parking lot, according to city planning records.

The fast food chicken chain pulled permits last year to take over the current site of The Venue Gentleman's Club and convert it into the first Chick-fil-A within Portland city limits.

Chick-fil-A was issued permits in October 2023 to make alterations to the existing building, including the façade and roof of the building. The permits also allow the company to increase the size of the building by about 60 square feet, rebuild the main entrance facing the parking lot and add new landscaping to the parking lot.

More recently, permits were filed earlier this month to demolish the building and rebuild it entirely to include a "new entry vestibule, restrooms, play area, dining and kitchen" and exterior work that will include a sidewalk, accessible parking and ramps, according to city planning records.

The company, however, is not proposing to add a drive-thru to the restaurant.

According to the Montavilla News, the site has hosted several establishments over the years, including a Hooters and a restaurant named Tony Roma's.

Chick-fil-A did not immediately respond to a USA TODAY request for comment.
