Chick-fil-A to Open in Former Portland Strip Club

The first Chick-fil-A within Portland city limits is set to open in a former strip club, The Venue Gentleman’s Club. The fast food franchise has obtained permits to convert the building, which has a history of violent incidents, into a fried-chicken sandwich restaurant. The city has approved plans to alter the building’s exterior and add landscaping to the parking lot. The location will not have a drive-thru. The Venue was the site of a fatal shooting in April, and the alleged perpetrator has been arrested.
