Win a Free Year’s Supply of Chick-fil-A

Chick-fil-A restaurant will celebrate the opening of its first stand-alone restaurant in Middletown Township on May 3 by giving away a free year’s supply of Chick-fil-A to the first 100 adults in line on grand opening morning.

Chick-fil-A’s “First 100 Celebration” quickly became a hallmark of each grand opening when the chain first held the event in Arizona in 2003. More than 18 hours before the restaurant opened, the first person arrived and asked where to get in line. Since then, the chain has given away more than $16 million in free food at almost 600 grand openings.

The parking lot parties attract Chick-fil-A’s loyal customers who come from around the block and across the country equipped with couches, TVs, computers, tents and other gear. Even extreme weather conditions do not dampen the enthusiasm of the participants who often arrive more than 24 hours in advance.

The Middletown First 100 Celebration will occur at 1190 W. Baltimore Pike where the chain will award a one-year supply of free Chick-fil-A meals (52 certificates) to each of the first 100 adults in line, ages 18 and older (with identification), which is a total of more than $26,000 in free food.

The line officially opens at 5:45 a.m. on Wednesday, May 2, and will close promptly at 6 a.m. The free meal cards will be awarded Thursday, May 3, sometime between 6 a.m. and 6:10 a.m. The restaurant will open for business immediately thereafter. Parking will be at the Toys R Us. The 100 qualified participants will camp out at the restaurant and enjoy games, meals, and a DJ.

If there are more than 100 people by 6 a.m. on Wednesday, May 2, all 100 spots will be determined by raffle.

"Chick-fil-A has come a long way since Truett opened that first tiny Chick-fil-A restaurant in an Atlanta mall 45 years ago, but one thing has remained constant–our focus on providing top quality food in a friendly neighborhood environment,” said Middletown Franchise Owner Todd Kanzinger in a press release. “My team members and I share that same commitment at our new Media restaurant and can’t wait to welcome and serve our new guests.”

The new Middletown Township Chick-fil-A has warm colors and wood accents and a convenient, award-winning drive-thru while children will enjoy an indoor play area featuring an interactive section for toddlers. The new restaurant is open Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., serving a full breakfast menu until 10:30 a.m.
