The fast casual restaurant confirmed the opening date at its newest location on John Wayne Parkway and Hathaway Avenue. Originally, the restaurant was set to open June 21 but was delayed due to inspections, according to regional manager Pete Davies.

“We were just waiting on fire inspections and others,” he said.

The restaurant passed inspections Thursday afternoon and began training employees on Friday.

Thai Chili 2 Go will be open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily for dine-in and takeout orders.
