A new Chick-fil-A restaurant is planned in Carmel.

Developers filed applications last week for a Chick-fil-A location at the intersection of Michigan Road and 99th Street on the city's west side.

It would be Carmel's first Chick-fil-A. The two closest restaurants are in Westfield.

According to a project summary filed with the city, a Red Robin restaurant exists on the property. The building would be torn down and a 4,930-square-foot building for the restaurant would be constructed with drive-thrus.

Information on a construction timeline and potential opening were not available in materials filed with the city.

Chick-fil-A said in a statement provided to IndyStar that the company is "always evaluating potential locations."

"We are excited to share that we are in the early stages of pursuing a restaurant in the Carmel area, but we do not have any additional information to share at this time," the statement reads.
