A $317,825 commercial alteration permit has been issued for a renovation of the Chick-fil-A restaurant inside Greenville Memorial Hospital at 701 Grove Road, signaling continued investment in food service amenities on the Greenville Health System campus.
The permit, numbered 2600000423, was issued on May 20, 2026, with Emjack Inc. listed as the contractor on the project. The property owner is recorded as Gville Hospital System. According to permit comments, the scope of work covers alterations to the existing Chick-fil-A location housed within the hospital.
Hospital-based fast-food franchises serve a steady stream of patients, visitors, and staff — a built-in customer base that few standalone locations can match. Investing more than $300,000 in an interior restaurant renovation suggests the operator sees long-term value in the Grove Road location, one of the busier medical campuses in the Upstate.
Emjack Inc., the general contractor tapped for the job, has handled commercial projects across the Greenville area. Details on the specific scope of the alterations — whether the work involves a full interior redesign, kitchen equipment upgrades, or expanded seating — are not spelled out in the permit filing.
The permit is classified as a commercial building alteration and carries an "Issued" status, meaning construction activity could already be underway or is cleared to begin. No associated planning applications were filed alongside the permit, indicating the project fits within the site's existing zoning and use approvals.
At nearly $318,000, the renovation ranks among the larger food-service tenant improvement projects permitted in Greenville this spring, a reminder that institutional settings like hospitals remain attractive locations for national quick-service brands willing to invest in their physical spaces.
