The grand opening celebration on Thursday will also provide the opportunity for community members to donate books that will benefit Washington Park Elementary.
If you want a chance to be one of the lucky winners of free food, though, you need to put in some work. As of 4 p.m. Wednesday, about 80 people were camping out in the rain.
After 11 years and nearly $24 million In free food given away, Chlck-fll-A's "First 100" celebration continues to be the chain's signature grand opening event, which transforms the restaurant parking lot into a 24-hour community friendly party as the crowd awaits the opening.
The new stand-alone Washington restaurant at 375 Washington Road, will host the next First 100 event that will award more than $32,000 in free food.
A digital offer card loaded with a one-year supply of free Chick-fil-A meals will be given to each of the first 100 eligible adults, ages 18 and older with identification, in line when the doors open about 6 a.m.
If more than 100 people are on-site when the line officially opens at 6 a.m., then all 100 spots will be determined by a drawing held that morning with those selected needing to camp out for 24 hours to secure their spot.
