Wallingford Chick-fil-A Opening Thursday, Offering Free Food for a Year

If you’re interested in receiving a one-year supply of free Chick-fil-A meals, you might want to start making plans on being in line early Wednesday morning in anticipation of the restaurant’s grand-opening celebration at its newest location on North Colony Road in Wallingford.

Chick-fil-A is opening its fourth Connecticut location, the first in Wallingford, Thursday (Nov. 6) and as part of the chain’s signature grand-opening event it will hold the “First 100” celebration, which transforms the restaurant parking lot into a 24-hour community “friendly party” as the crowd awaits the opening.

A total of $30,000 in free food will be awarded at the event at 1098 North Colony Road. A digital offer card loaded with a one-year supply of free Chick-fil-A® Meals will be given to each of the first 100 eligible adults, ages 18 and older with identification, in line when the doors open about 6 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 6.

If more than 100 people are onsite when the line officially opens at 6 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 5, then all 100 spots will be determined by a drawing held that morning with those selected needing to camp out for 24 hours to secure their spot. Details and rules are available online at Chick-fil-A First 100 Promotion here.

Wallingford Chick-fil-A Operator Todd Langston will also be collecting new children’s books at the restaurant on Wednesday, Nov. 5, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The books will be donated to the Brookfield Public Schools District.

The first Connecticut Chick-fil-A restaurant opened Oct. 9 in Brookfield. Along with the Wallingford location, a restaurant inside Danbury Fair Mall in Danbury is opening Nov. 6. A stand-alone restaurant is slated for Enfield in early 2015.
