Community Update: Overwhelming Opposition to Chick-fil-A

On Saturday, we welcomed former Detroit Police Chief & mayoral candidate James Craig to The Giving Tree Montessori to hear directly from our families, staff, neighbors, and local small businesses about the proposed Chick-fil-A drive-thru next door.

Chief Craig walked the site, spoke with parents, and listened to powerful stories about how this development would impact our school and community. He shared his visit publicly—because this deserves real attention.

Survey data recently shared by Councilmember Latisha Johnson shows:
83% of District 4 residents oppose this development
85% of respondents from surrounding communities oppose it as well
And yet, the project continues to move forward, despite its location directly next to a school serving infants & toddlers.

We’re grateful to everyone who showed up and spoke out. This is a meaningful step, and we’re not done. We’ll keep pushing for transparency, accountability, and the safety of our children.

With gratitude,
The Giving Tree Montessori Team
