Chick-fil-A To Celebrate Farmingdale Grand Opening In Style

FARMINGDALE, NY — Chick-fil-A in Farmingdale finally has an official grand opening date. The popular chicken franchise will launch at 1991 Broadhollow Road on Thursday, Dec. 5, but with a twist.

The chain will hold an overnight camp-out on Dec. 4, and the first 100 eligible adults in-line on grand opening morning will be granted a free year supply of Chick-fil-A, the business announced.

The line for the promotion opens 6 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 4. If there are more than 100 people in line at that time, a raffle will be held to determine the 100 who will stay on-site for the next 12 hours. The awarding will take place before 6 a.m. on Thursday. The Chick-fil-A Cow will lead a conga line of participants through the restaurant, to the excitement and cheers of team members, who will be clapping, cheering and banging on pots and pans.

The overnight, 12-hour grand opening First 100 Camp-out party includes activities for participants, who will also receive a Chick-fil-A meal during the countdown to the opening. At that time, upwards of 100 adults will win a digital offer card for a year of free Chick-fil-A meals (52 meals with each consisting of a Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich, medium Waffle Potato Fries and a medium drink).

Participants are told to arrive at 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 4 for registration that begins in the restaurant parking lot at 6 p.m. The community event is open to guests surrounding the restaurant with a list of eligible zip codes. The complete rules can be found here.

Nolan Patrick, who will operate the new Chick-fil-A, has been with the chain since he was 17. He has spent the last two-and-a-half years traveling the United States to help open and manage newly-built Chick-fil-A restaurants. He and his wife now call Farmingdale home.

The new location will provide 130 jobs to the area.
