New Location to Give Away “Free Chick-fil-A for a Year” to First 100
MACEDONIA, OH–(EMWNews – August 6, 2008) – Chick-fil-A®, the nation’s second-largest
chicken restaurant chain, will reward those willing to wait in line for
Chick-fil-A’s newest stand-alone Chick-fil-A restaurant at 8213 Golden Link
Blvd. in Macedonia on Aug. 7 by giving away $26,000 in free Chick-fil-A
food to the first 100 adults in line that morning.
A one-year supply of free Chick-fil-A® Combo Meals (52 coupons) will be
awarded to each of the first 100 adults, age 18 and older with
identification, at the new stand-alone restaurant. The line can begin
forming up to 24 hours prior to the opening, with the prizes being given
away on Aug. 7 between 6 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. The restaurant will open
thereafter.
“When we started the First 100 Fans promotion we were stunned when someone
arrived 18 hours in advance and asked where he could wait in line,” said
Chick-fil-A, Inc. President Dan Cathy, who has camped out at dozens of
openings. “Almost five years later, we’ve given away more than $7 million
in free Chick-fil-A food across the country to raving fans who’ve braved
snow, wind, rain and triple-digit temperatures to help us celebrate the
opening of each new Chick-fil-A.”
Chick-fil-A grand openings attract raving fans from around the country with
some traveling many hours and hundreds of miles from several states away to
take part in the festivities.
The new restaurant in Macedonia will be the fifth stand-alone Chick-fil-A
in the Cleveland area — one additional location is scheduled to open in
Mentor this month. The new 4,227-square-foot restaurant seats more than 134
and will create approximately 55 new jobs. The restaurant features warm
colors and wood accents as well as an indoor play area for children, which
includes an interactive section for toddlers.
Dan Stanko has been selected as franchised Operator of the new Chick-fil-A.
Stanko has operated the Chick-fil-A at Westfield Shoppingtown Southpark for
two years and will relocate to operate the new Macedonia restaurant. He and
his wife, Annette, are eager to bring Chick-fil-A to the Macedonia
community.
With this year forecasted to be the chain’s most aggressive product rollout
period in Chick-fil-A history, the new Macedonia Chick-fil-A restaurant
will offer several new menu enhancements.
These include a new Chick-fil-A® Chargrilled Chicken & Fruit Salad with
Harvest Nut Granola topping and a new Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips® Salad
with strips that are 50 percent larger than the previous offering.
Chick-fil-A® Chicken Salad Sandwich also has undergone a makeover and is
now served on new premium wheatberry bread with leaf lettuce. The chain’s
Cool Wraps selections now come in a new multi-grain flatbread.
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.
