Chick-fil-A West in Midland, TX

The Chick-fil-A West Midland renovation at 5120 Andrews Hwy is complete, having passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in September 2026. This project involved a specific alteration to the existing structure rather than new construction, focusing on the drive-thru service area. The work was registered with TDLR in March 2026, with plan review completed the same month before construction began in June 2026.

Scope and Specifications

The filing describes the scope of work as replacing the drive-thru window with a Tormax Drive-thru Door. Additionally, the project included the installation of a new split system HVAC unit, a new electric heater, and a new air curtain. The total estimated cost for these improvements was $150,000. The filing lists the square footage as 98 sq ft, which likely refers to the specific area affected by the drive-thru modifications.

Chick-fil-A Inc is the owner of record for this project. The design firm of record is Interplan LLC, which has worked on several other Chick-fil-A locations across Texas. Kathy S Rodriguez is the registered accessibility specialist listed on the filing. The project is privately funded and located on private land in Midland County.

Project Context and Status

This renovation fits within a broader pattern of Chick-fil-A investments in the region. The company has six other TDLR-registered projects in Texas, with estimated costs ranging from $150,000 to $775,000. Interplan LLC has also designed other commercial projects, including locations for HTeaO and Juici Patties. The scheduled build window for this project was 61 days, which is shorter than the 122-day median for similar renovation filings in Midland County.

The project status is now Inspection Complete. The final TDLR accessibility inspection was passed in September 2026, confirming that the work was finished according to the filed plans. This status indicates that the physical construction and accessibility requirements have been met and verified by the state. The project does not involve new construction of a building but rather an alteration to an existing facility.

For residents and visitors in the Midland area, this project adds to the commercial infrastructure along Andrews Hwy. The location is near other businesses such as West Texas Food Bank and Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses. The completion of the drive-thru door replacement and HVAC upgrades suggests an improvement to the customer service experience at this specific location.
