Going beyond chicken, Chick-fil-A is branching out with their brand-new Daybright concept, focused entirely on drinks like specialty coffees, smoothies, and cold-pressed juices, with a few food options. Unlike the chain’s usual spots, Daybright will operate independently and won’t serve Chick-fil-A menu favorites, with the first location opening in the Atlanta area this fall. The project comes from Chick-fil-A’s innovation arm, Red Wagon Ventures, which also launched Little Blue Menu in 2023. With competitors like Taco Bell’s Live Más Café and McDonald’s short-lived CosMc’s testing the waters, it looks like the fast-food world is betting big on beverage-focused hangouts.
