If you live in the Bradenton, FL, area, and love Chick-fil-A, Bradenton’s Newest Chick-fil-A Stand-Alone Restaurant Opens August 1st! That means the first 100 in Line at the New Restaurant Win Free Year’s Supply of Chick-fil-A Meals!
Below is the Press Release for this Event:
Bradenton, Fla. (Aug. 1, 2013) – Bradenton’s second stand-alone Chick-fil-A® restaurant will open Aug. 1, bringing more than 75 new jobs and the chance for 100 adults to win free Chick-fil-A meals for a year as the chain reaches the 10th anniversary of its signature grand opening celebration.
Chick-fil-A’s “First 100” event, which began as a way to celebrate the first stand-alone Chick-fil-A in Arizona in 2003, immediately became the cornerstone of every Chick-fil-A grand opening when the first person arrived more than 18 hours the day before, wondering where to get in line. Others soon followed and by the time the restaurant opened for business the next day, more than 100 were waiting.
Humbled and surprised by the dedication of its fans, Chick-fil-A quickly implemented the “First 100” at every grand opening and in the past 10 years has given away more than $18 million in free food at almost 700 grand openings. An additional $2.5 million is slated to be given away at 91 grand openings this year.
The new Bradenton restaurant at 4573 14th St. W. will be the scene of the latest Chick-fil-A grand opening celebration. The first 100 adults, ages 18 and older with identification, in line when the doors open about 6 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 1, each will win a one-year supply of free Chick-fil-A® Meals (52 coupons with each consisting of a Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich, medium Waffle Potato Fries™ and a medium drink) – a total of more than $30,000 in free food. The line officially opens at 6 a.m., Wednesday, July 31, with the free meal cards being awarded Thursday, Aug. 1, about 6 a.m. The restaurant will open for business immediately thereafter. If there are more than 100 people by 6 a.m. on Wednesday, July 31, all 100 spots will be determined by a drawing held that morning with those selected needing to camp out to secure their spot. For complete rules, see Chick-fil-A First 100 Promotion.
In case you didn’t know, Chick-fil-A celebrates each of their grand openings by awarding a one-year supply of free Chick-fil-A® Meals (52 certificates) to each of the first 100 adults in line! That means the first 100 adults age 18 and older with identification to get in line at the restaurants listed above are going to get a year’s worth of Chick-fil-A totally FREE!

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
