More Than 100 Line Up For A Year Of Free Chick-Fil-A At New Cascade Location

More than 100 people (and counting) lined up Thursday for Cascade Chick-fil-A's grand opening -- and free meals for a year.

ATLANTA, GA -- More than 100 people lined up early Thursday to put themselves in position to win free Chick-fil-A meals for a year. Many of them camped out the day before at the restaurant's newest Atlanta location -- 3725 Cascade Road, just off Interstate 285.

The restaurant provided games, music, dancing and -- yes -- Chick-fil-A to ensure that the crowd enjoyed themselves. Wednesday morning, the participants packaged more than 10,000 meals which were donated to the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Later that evening the crowd enjoyed music and entertainment and a Chick-fil-A Chocolate Chunk Cookie and milk party.

Eager participants were registering -- they must be at least age 18 and live within certain ZIP codes around the restaurant -- and began to set up camp in the parking lot for the 24-hour wait.
