'Chick-fil-A For a Year' to the First 100 Customers at the New Westborough Location

Chick-fil-A is excited to open its second Massachusetts stand-alone restaurant - and first in the eastern part of the state - in Westborough on Thursday, Sept. 25, giving away free Chick-fil-A for a year to the first 100 adults in line when the doors open that morning.

Chick-fil-A’s most passionate customers often arrive more than 24 hours in advance, packing tents, lawn chairs, computers, TVs, couches and all kinds of gear to make their wait more comfortable and entertaining. Chick-fil-A provides security, entertainment, games and, of course, plenty of fresh Chick-fil-A. Recently hundreds of people hoping to win have arrived more than 24 hours in advance resulting in a drawing to select the 100 people (plus 10 alternates) who will stay with us 24 hours to win the prize. Visit here for details and promotions on this raffle.

The day before the opening, Wednesday, Sept. 24, the new restaurant will host a new book drive to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Mass/MetroWest between noon and 9 p.m. accepting donations of new books at the restaurant which will be donated as a lending library to the organization.

The new restaurant on Turnpike Road brings with it 80 new jobs and is part of the chain’s New England expansion which this year includes the opening of the first stand-alone Chick-fil-A restaurants in Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The state’s first stand-alone restaurant opened earlier this year in Chicopee. Chick-fil-A currently operates restaurants inside the Burlington Mall and Northshore Mall in Peabody.
