Local Highlight: New Flavors Coming to Livingston County
Chick-fil-A and Schmuck's Brewing Advance Their Plans
Livingston County's culinary and community landscape is set to expand with progress on two highly anticipated new ventures: the county's first Chick-fil-A and the long-awaited Schmuck's Brewing microbrewery.
Chick-fil-A Moves Forward in Hartland Township
The proposal for the county's first Chick-fil-A restaurant is moving steadily through the approval process in Hartland Township. Located at a key commercial intersection, the plans call for a 5,027 square foot building complete with a drive-through service.
In recent weeks, the Hartland Township Planning Commission has reviewed the site plan, and the project is now advancing to the next stages of approval. While the exact opening date is still to be determined, the December planning meetings indicate a strong commitment to bringing the popular chicken chain to the area. This development is expected to significantly impact local traffic patterns and dining options, serving as a major new commercial anchor for the township.
Schmuck's Brewing: A 2026 Opening on the Horizon
For local beer aficionados, the wait for Schmuck's Brewing continues, but progress is being made. The microbrewery, which will also feature The Quarry RV Resort, has been a highly anticipated project in the Howell area.
While the original plan aimed for a 2025 opening, the latest reports suggest the opening has been pushed to 2026. This delay is common for complex construction and development projects, especially those involving unique features like the RV resort. The brewery is set to be a significant local draw, offering a new community gathering spot and adding to Livingston County's growing craft beverage scene. We will continue to monitor their progress and provide updates as the opening date approaches.
These two projects highlight the continued commercial growth and diversification of the Livingston County economy, offering new options for residents and visitors alike.
