Call Center Company in Antioch, CA

On Tuesday, the Antioch City Council will discuss the Lone Tree Retail Project, something that has been on the books since 2005.

The project site is within the 18-acre which was part of a 2005 entitlement for development of the In-Shape Fitness Center, along with a 126,000 square foot commercial development. While In-Shape was constructed and opened in 2007, the rest of the site has remained undeveloped

If approved, the project site would include:

The project applicant, Architecture Plus, Inc., is seeking approval of the Lone Tree Retail commercial project, consisting of development of three buildings: a car wash, quick service restaurant, and combination quick service restaurant and retail building, along with associated site improvements

Proposed Businesses and Hours of Operation

The developer proposes to construct tenant spaces for four businesses in three buildings: a drive-thru car wash (Parcel E), drive-thru quick service restaurant (Parcel F), and a combination drive-thru quick service restaurant and retail space (Parcel G). The applicant has prospective tenants for three of the four spaces: the car wash is proposed to be operated by Mister Car Wash, the standalone quick service restaurant building is proposed to be operated by Habit Burger & Grill, the quick service restaurant in the combination building is proposed to be operated by Chipotle, and the retail tenant is to be determined.

The proposed hours of operation are as follows:

Chipotle intends to apply for a class 41 ABC license to serve beer and wine for consumption on site. Per Antioch Municipal Code, restaurants that derive more than 50% of their gross receipts from food are not subject to the same restrictions as liquor establishments.

Planning Commission Action

On February 19, 2025, the Antioch Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding the proposed project. At the close of the meeting the Planning Commission voted 4-0, with two Commissioners absent, to adopt a resolution recommending that the City Council adopt an addendum to the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project. A second vote was held to adopt a resolution recommending that the City Council approve the Final Development Plan, Use Permit and Design Review for the project. This motion failed in a 3 – 1 vote with one Commissioner opposing and two Commissioners absent. Per Antioch Municipal Code, Planning Commission resolutions require at least 4 yes votes for adoption. Therefore, the Planning Commission did not adopt a resolution recommending City Council adopt or deny the Final Development Plan, Use Permit, and Design review for the project.

During the Planning Commission meeting, Commissioners asked City staff and the project applicant a range of questions, including topics such as the need for and appropriateness of a car wash in the proposed location, impacts of the project on water and sewer systems, the status of the adjacent proposed residential project, the project’s parking plan, and environmental analysis performed. Four letters/emails of public comment were received for the project prior to the Planning Commission hearing. This includes three letters of support: two from neighboring property owners and one from the developer of the adjacent proposed Commercial Infill Housing residential project. One member of the public provided written comment suggesting that the project be explicitly conditioned to require landscape screening around the drive-thrus and along Lone Tree Way. No members of the public commented on the project during the Planning Commission hearing.

ANTIOCH, CA — A new Chick-fil-A® restaurant is set to open soon in Antioch.

The Chick-fil-A at Lone Tree Way will officially open for business at 6:30 a.m. Thursday, April 3.

The restaurant is bringing 100 jobs to the community and will be run by owner-operator Evan Hawthorne—fulfilling a dream nearly eight years in the making. Hawthorne started his journey with Chick-fil-A as a team member at his father-in-law’s restaurant in Fremont and advanced to general manager. Now, he is thrilled to become the local owner-operator of the first Chick-fil-A in Antioch.

"Chick-fil-A holds a special place in my family’s heart, and I am forever grateful to my father-in-law for introducing me to the brand—it has truly changed my life," Hawthorne said.

To celebrate moo-ving into town, Hawthorne and his team will give one free entree to community members who visit the restaurant on opening day decked in their finest cow spots. Whether it’s a full-on cow suit or a simple cow-spotted accessory, all guests are encouraged to join the fun.

It is a way to celebrate the new food spot and Chick-fil-A's iconic cows seen in TV commercials and on billboards. Guests dressed in cow attire on opening day can redeem the free offer inside the restaurant or in the drive-thru.

Keeping the celebration going, Hawthorne plans to give back to the Antioch community by:

"As we open our doors in Antioch, my goal is to make a meaningful impact by bringing our community together through service and care," Hawthorne said. "I look forward to mentoring future generations while serving great food with genuine hospitality.”

Chick-fil-A at 5705 Lone Tree Way in Antioch will be open 6:30 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday through Saturday for dine-in, drive-thru and carry-out. The restaurant is closed every Sunday.
