CINNAMINSON, NJ — If you like Chick-fil-A and own a cow suit, you're in luck. If you like indoor dining or eating out on Sundays, not so much.

Chick-fil-A in Cinnaminson will open at 6:30 a.m. July 1, bringing a drive thru-only location to the area.

To celebrate the occasion, anyone dressed like a cow on opening day will receive a free entrée or kid's meal, whether it's a full-on costume or a cow-spotted accessory. View more info below.

The location has multiple drive-thru lanes and will also feature a walk-up window for carry-out. Patrons can also dine in the patio, which will have outdoor seating.

Over the years, Chick-fil-A restaurants have placed heavier emphasis on drive-thru service, adding a second drive-thru lane to many existing locations.

Last summer, Chick-fil-A introduced its first drive thru-only restaurant in Metro Atlanta, which was designed to speed up service and aid guests more efficiently.

This will be the second Chick-fil-A owned by franchisee Steve Cozzi, who will also continue operating the Delran location. He began working back-of-house as a teenager before going on to work in fine dining and graduating from the Culinary Institute of America.

Cozzi owned two restaurants before seeking a path in hospitality that gave him better work-life balance. He went on to become Chick-fil-A Delran's franchisee in 2022.

"Since I was a kid, sharing meals has been a way to connect and show care," Cozzi said. "Chick-fil-A has given me a unique opportunity to serve others and make a positive impact on my neighbors."

Chick-fil-A Cinnaminson (301 Route 130 S) will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The chain's restaurants are closed on Sundays — a policy instilled when founder S. Truett Cathy, a devout Southern Baptist, opened his first Chick-fil-A in 1946.

Here's the fine print for Chick-fil-A Cinnaminson's cow promotion:

"Guests who dress in cow attire on opening day can redeem the offer of one free entrée inside the restaurant or in the drive-thru. Breakfast offer options are a Chick-fil-A® Chicken Biscuit, Egg White Grill or 4-ct Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Minis®. Lunch/dinner offer options are Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich, Spicy Chicken Sandwich or 8-ct Grilled Nuggets or 5-ct Nugget Kid’s Meal. The offer is limited to one per person in cow attire, per day, while supplies last. No purchase is necessary. See the restaurant for more details.
