A former Applebee’s on Shawnee Mission Parkway will officially become popular fast food chain Chick-fil-A’s newest Johnson County location this week.
On Tuesday, Chick-fil-A will celebrate the grand opening of its new drive-thru restaurant in Shawnee.
Chick-fil-A will operate at 11500 Shawnee Mission Parkway
- The restaurant occupies a site just off Lucille Lane and Shawnee Mission Parkway, near Wendy’s.
- Applebee’s operated there for more than three decades before it closed in spring 2023.
- Once it opens, Chick-fil-A will operate from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

This Chick-fil-A will primarily focus on drive-thru
- The new Shawnee location will cater toward drive-thru and walk-up customers, with a “Mobile Thru” lane for people to pick up orders they made through the app.
- The restaurant will offer limited outdoor seating with space for 24 customers, but no indoor seating.
- Chick-fil-A began rolling out this new concept last year, and this will mark the first drive-thru focused Chick-fil-A in Johnson County.
This marks the eighth Chick-fil-A in Johnson County
- The Shawnee Mission Parkway location will also be the first in Shawnee for the Georgia-based company.
- In addition to Shawnee, Chick-fil-A also has locations in Mission, Overland Park, Olathe and Lenexa.
- Across the state line, the company also has three locations in Kansas City, Missouri.
