4. A couple hundred people were at the grand opening of the Chick-Fil-A in Framingham Thursday morning, Feb. 18. More than 30 individuals had started waiting in line and pitched tents before 6 a.m. Wednesday hoping to receive one of 100 gift cards that award 52 free meals - one a week for a year. At 10 p.m. Wednesday, the 100th individual registered with the chain restaurant.

At least 100 individuals camped out overnight at the franchise, the 3rd in Eastern Massachusetts and the fifth in the Commonwealth. Chick-Fil-A provided games, entertainment, live music and free food for those who waited. A rooster woke up the campers this morning at 6 a.m. and the company’s mascot ushered the 100 first customers in the restaurant, as employees banged pots and pans.

The new restaurant, located in Shoppers World near Kohl’s department store has a dining room for 126 people, and a 2-story indoor play area for children. There is also a dual drive-thru.
