Is Free Chick-fil-A for a Year Worth Camping Out For?

Are there really more than 100 people standing in line outside Durham’s new Chick-fil-A? Supposedly the first 100 people lined outside the fast food restaurant will score a free meal each week for a year when the store officially opens tomorrow.

A PR person for Chick-fil-A sent an e-mail today saying that as of 6 a.m. today more than 100 people were camped out in the parking lot. Is this true? I’m in Charlotte today for software training or you can bet I’d be heading there to interview some of those folks. I mean, I like chicken as much as the next carnivore, but is it really worth standing in line for? Maybe if I couldn’t afford to eat out, then I might consider the wait. But if I couldn’t afford to eat out, then I’d probably need to be at work and not in a Chick-fil-A parking lot.

If you drive past the new store in Durham today, please let me know if this is really true. It’s located at 7836 Leonardo Dr.

What about you? Would you spend 24 hours standing in line if it meant you got free chicken for a year?

  3. If I had the time, I would camp out just for the fun of it, Also free chicken once a week would be great. :) Especially after I come off this fast.

  4. I didn’t make it out there this morning, but I know people who have done it before, so I can believe it!

  6. Some of my friends are actually in town from Greensboro today to camp out. They do it every time they open a new store, and apparently the same group goes to every opening! They said you can use the coupons at any store you go to. I’ll tell them to send you their pictures!

  7. I will say… I believe, as a fast food establishment, Chic-fil-A is the only place that has exceptional customer service. Remember…. Customer service is not a department… it’s an attitude!

  8. I agree. Their employees usually seem sunshiney and are quick to pull out the “yes ma’am” whenever I order. I find that Biscuitville also has good customer service. Must be something about restaurants that specialize in chicken.
