Developer sues Collierville over road

By , Daily Memphian Published: September 01, 2026 4:00 AM CT

Developer David Halle’s company, Poplar Commercial LLC, has sued Collierville in Shelby County Circuit Court over a town-approved road that connects to his property.

Halle owns the site of the existing Chick-fil-A at 1036 W. Poplar Ave. and the site of Chili’s Grill & Bar at 237 Market Blvd. Both restaurants lease from Poplar Commercial.


Controversial Chick-fil-A proposal returns to Collierville board


When Collierville developed the LA Fitness property at 1088 W. Poplar Ave., it required the exercise company to provide a second access point before adding more buildings. That requirement has prevented development of the vacant lot west of Chick-fil-A. Crews Development recently got approval for a second connection to LA Fitness: a cut-through road to Poplar Marketplace, which Crews owns.
