100 Adults in
Line at New Restaurant to Win Free Year’s Supply of Chick-fil-A Meals

New Restaurant on Forty Foot Road Creates More Than 75 new jobs

                LANSDALE, Penn. (Feb. 6, 2014) – Lansdale’s
first stand-alone Chick-fil-A® restaurant will open Feb. 6, bringing
more than 75 new jobs and the chance for 100 adults to win free Chick-fil-A
meals for a year. 

                Chick-fil-A’s
“First 100” event, which began in 2003 as a way to celebrate the first
stand-alone Chick-fil-A in Arizona, immediately became the cornerstone of every
Chick-fil-A grand opening when the first person arrived the day more than 18
hours in advance 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 almost $21 million in free food at more
than 750 grand openings.

                The
new Lansdale restaurant at 210 Forty Foot Road 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, Feb. 6, 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, Feb. 5, with the free meal cards
being awarded Thursday, Feb. 6, 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, Feb. 5, 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.

The day before the opening, Wednesday, Feb. 5, the
restaurant will host a food drive in partnership with Manna on Main Street. Local
residents dropping off six or more non-perishable food items will receive a
coupon for a free Chick-fil-A Sandwich.

Joining the King of Prussia restaurant that opened
in August, the Lansdale location is the second stand-alone Chick-fil-A
restaurant to open in Greater Philadelphia within six months – creating nearly
150 jobs.  With over 60 restaurants in
Pennsylvania, 34 located in the Philadelphia metro, the company continues its
growth in the state.  Chick-fil-A first
entered the Pennsylvania in 1973 with an opening at Exton Square Mall, in
Exton.

Dawn Friel has been selected as Owner/Operator of
the new Lansdale restaurant, relocating from the Chick-fil-A in the Liberty Place
Mall in Philadelphia.  She began her
career with Chick-fil-A working for her father who is also an
Owner/Operator.  Friel is a graduate of
Cabrini College in Radnor, Pennsylvania where she majored in Sociology.  She is married to James and has one son, James
Robert.

 “Our focus
on freshly prepared food and personal customer service is as central to our new
restaurant as it was the day Truett opened his first Chick-fil-A location,”
said Friel. “That commitment continues for me and my team members at our new Lansdale
location where we can’t wait to continue welcoming and serving our guests in
the community.”

The new restaurant seats 132 and has warm colors
and wood accents. It offers the convenience of free Wi-Fi and parents will
appreciate the indoor play area.  Along
with featuring the chain’s latest kitchen design, the restaurant includes dual
drive-thru ordering lanes to expand its award-winning drive-thru service. Two
drive-thru lanes will welcome motorists who will place their orders at separate
screens and then merge into a single lane to pay for and pick up their food.
With a majority of customers at Chick-fil-A stand-alone restaurants choosing
drive-thru, the ability for two drivers to simultaneously order should mean
quicker service. The restaurant is open Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m.
to 10 p.m., serving a full breakfast menu until 10:30 a.m.

As part of the chain’s ongoing commitment to offer
fresh, delicious and nutritious options, the restaurant’s menu will feature its
new line of premium salads that are handcrafted onsite using top-quality
ingredients and include Cobb, Asian and Grilled Market Salads and a Grilled
Chicken Cool Wrap. Last month, for a limited time, the chain brought back its
popular Chicken Tortilla Soup made with shredded breast of chicken, three beans
and a blend of vegetables and spices and topped with seasoned corn tortilla
strips.

Chick-fil-A continues to win industry accolades
including Men’s Health “Eat This, Not That” 2013 edition which again gave the
chain high marks (A-) and named it one of the top two restaurants providing
healthier menu options.
