Chick-fil-A to open with free food | Events

Lakeland, FL - Chick-fil-A® restaurant  is celebrating the opening of its newest stand-alone restaurant in Lakeland on June 14. 

The restaurant is giving away a free year's supply of Chick-fil-A to the first 100 adults in line grand opening morning.

Chick-fil-A's "First 100 Celebration" quickly became a hallmark of each grand opening when the chain first held the event in Arizona in 2003. 

More than 18 hours before the restaurant opened, the first person arrived and asked where to get in line. Since then, the chain has given away more than $16 million in free food at almost 600 grand openings.

The latest Chick-fil-A First 100 celebration will occur at 4132 U.S. Highway North in Lakeland where the chain will award a one-year supply of free Chick-fil-A® Meals (52 certificates) to each of the first 100 adults in line, ages 18 and older with identification - a total of more than $26,000 in free food.

The line officially opens at 6 a.m., Wednesday, June 13, with the free meal cards being awarded Thursday, June 14, about 6 a.m. The restaurant will open for business immediately thereafter.
