Chick-fil-A opening NYC outpost in national push

His father, also a pastor, allowed him to take the position because all Chick-fil-As are closed on Sunday, a policy that has been in force since S. Truett Cathy opened his first restaurant, The Dwarf Grill, in Hapeville, Georgia, in 1946.

Free food for a year at Chick-Fil-A? With each opening, people line up.

The First 100 Campout will give 100 people the opportunity to win free Chick-fil-A for a year (52 meals), according to a release.

This isn’t just a few regular old Chick-fil-A either. The 5,000-square-foot restaurant is specifically created to cater to the “busy lifestyle of New York customers”. When it opens, the NYC location will be the largest in the county.

Starting at 6 p.m., on Friday, customers will begin lining up for the grand opening at 6 a.m., on Saturday. If more than 100 people show up at that time, the 100 lucky winners will be determined by a lottery system.

The first 100 participants will be given a camping chair and blanket for the overnight event.

Chick-fil-A’s much-anticipated Manhattan location is opening on Saturday, October 3, and the chain plans on honoring the most die-hard Chick-fil-A zealots out there. The Chick-Fil-A website has a complete listing of eligible zip codes.
