The Chick-fil-A® restaurant chain and its Eat Mor Chikin® Cows will do their part to “boooost” and support the local economy with the opening of Holly Springs’ first stand-alone Chick-fil-A restaurant on Sept. 17, with the celebration to include the giving away of more than $26,000 in free food and creating more than 65 new jobs.
Chick-fil-A will award a one-year supply of free Chick-fil-A Meals (52 certificates) to each of the first 100 adults in line, age 18 and older with identification, at the restaurant located at 801 Village Walk Drive. The line officially begins forming up to 24 hours before the grand opening with the prizes being awarded Thursday, Sept. 17, sometime between 6 a.m. and 6:10 a.m. The restaurant will open for business immediately thereafter.
Despite the country facing challenging economic times, Chick-fil-A continues to grow. The company announced in early July its plans to add an additional five new stand-alone Chick-fil-A restaurants this year, an increase from 64 to 69. Along with the opening of a new mall location and 10 licensed outlets this year, more than 4,500 new jobs will be created as well as providing a positive business impact in local communities.
