Camp Out to Win Free Chick-fil-A for a Year

The Maple Grove Chick-fil-A is just days away from its Thursday grand opening. To celebrate, the company is offering a chance for some lucky fans to win free food each week for a year.

The “First 100” contest is a staple of Chick-fil-A restaurant openings that awards the first 100 people at the restaurant a Chick-fil-A sandwich meal every week for a year. Each meal contains a chicken sandwich, medium waffle fries and a medium drink.

To enter, arrive at the restaurant between 5:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. on Wednesday, the day before the grand opening. If there are more than 100 people, the restaurant will select 100 people by a drawing. Those who are chosen will then have to camp out over the next 24 hours to receive the prize. Ten alternates will also be chosen and will receive an unspecified alternate prize.

Arriving before 5:30 a.m. will not improve a person’s chances. Entrants must be at least 18 years old and have identification.

The Maple Grove restaurant is one of the first two free-standing stores to open in the Twin Cities. The 4,686 square-foot Maple Grove restaurant is located at 11820 Fountains Way—next to TGI Fridays at The Fountains at Arbor Lakes.

A Coon Rapids restaurant opens the same day.
