Okay, one more food post and then we’ll go back to Tucson related Real Estate.
Chick-fil-A has it’s grand opening tomorrow at the El Con Mall, just North of Bank of America at Broadway and Randolph Park. I’ve been watching the progress as I drive by on the way to my office: transitioning from an old Krispy Kreme building into a fancy new Chick-fil-A. I got my special invite in the mail yesterday - I’ve got a coupon for a free chicken sandwich, if anyone wants it!
The tents were out and the line started this morning - the first 100 qualified participants in line at the Grand Opening of a new Chick-fil-A each get a Grand Prize: one Chick-fil-A combo meal per week for a year. To be qualified, you have to be over 18 years of age with a photo ID and have remained in line until the store opens (exceptions made for short bathroom breaks.)
Let the parking lot chaos begin! I had trouble just finding a spot to park to take this photo of the line - the In-n-Out Burger drive-through line cuts right in front of the Chick-fil-A building.

Just before the first Chik-fil-A opened here in North Scottsdale, they were giving away free sandwiches to everyone in a car that drove past the store. I think that lasted for 2 full days. They gave away thousands of sandwiches. Talk about an amazing way to promote your product.
