The newly remodeled Peachtree City Midtown Chick-fil-A restaurant will open Aug. 11, providing a chance for 100 adults to win free Chick-fil-A meals for a year and the opportunity for the community to donate books for Oak Grove Elementary.
The Peachtree City Midtown Chick-fil-A originally opened in 1992. Over the last four months, the restaurant has been totally rebuilt and features the chain’s latest design and technologies. Mike Holmes, long-time Peachtree City business owner, is the franchise Operator of the newly rebuilt location along with two other Chick-fil-A restaurants at Kedron Village and Line Creek, which opened in April.
The family-friendly overnight First 100 party is expected to pop up in the parking lot of the restaurant at 707 Highway 54, 24 hours before the grand opening as guests try to be one of the first 100 adults through the door to win a year of free Chick-fil-A meals. This community event is open to guests residing in specific zip codes surrounding the restaurant. A complete listing of eligible zip codes and rules can be found at www.chick-fil-a.com/Locations/Openings
A tradition going back nearly 13 years, Chick-fil-A’s First 100 celebration has given away nearly $27 million in free food through 2015 and continues to be the chain’s signature grand opening event. The April Line Creek opening had 40 campers get in line at the 24-hour mark with the 100th camper registered 12 hours later, with the same enthusiasm expected for this re-opening. Rain, snow and extreme temperatures below zero or above 100 do not deter fans who arrive with tents, chairs, TVs, computers and other gear.
Each is hoping to win a digital offer card loaded with a one-year supply 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 beverage) that will be awarded to the first 100 eligible adults – ages 18 and older with identification – in line when the doors open at 6 a.m. on Aug. 11. If more than 100 people are onsite when the line officially opens at 6 a.m. on Aug. 10, a drawing will be held to randomly select the First 100. Those chosen will be required to camp out until the grand opening in order to secure their spot.
“My team members and I can’t wait to showcase our new restaurant to the community,” said Holmes. “We are so pleased to have built two brand new Chick-fil-A restaurants that enable us to have an even greater impact and opportunity to serve our guests within and our community outside our restaurant doors.”
Due to the timely opening of one location and the rebuild of his other, Holmes was able to preserve the jobs of all his team members who were transferred over to his new Line Creek location. An additional staff of 50 was hired for Holmes’ restaurant re-opening which brings overall team members to 160 for his three locations.
The re-opening is among the 104 Chick-fil-A locations to open across the U.S. this year, crating approximately 9,000 jobs.
