What These People Were Willing To Do For Free Chicken

Why the new Rockville Chick-Fil-A drew such a crowd ahead of its official opening Thursday.

Rockville’s first stand-alone Chick-fil-A at 12001 Rockville Pike isn’t slated to open until Thursday. So why were all these people camping outside of it Wednesday morning?

That’s because the first 100 adults in line when the doors opened at 6 a.m. would win a one-year supply of free Chick-fil-A—52 coupons with each consisting of a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich, medium-size waffle potato fries, and a medium drink.

The line opened 6 a.m. Wednesday.
