It may be over a week away, but folks are already buzzing about the November 17th grand opening of the Arlington location of Chick-fil-A (2200 Crystal Drive). Not only for their so-bad-it’s-good, not open on Sundays, weird cow spokesman ways, but because they are welcoming themselves to town with a lot of free stuff.

For the truly dedicated, the fast food chain will give out a year’s supply of free Chick-fil-A meals to the first 100 adults in line at 6am on November 17th. (No word on whether you’ll be able to sign up for a year’s supply of angioplasties too.) For those of you that are thinking, “pshaw, who is going to line up in the middle of the night for $260 worth of chicken?” look no further than Denver, where the city’s Chick-fil-A opening inspired 200 people to line up the DAY BEFORE the same promotion.

If you can’t make that serious of a commitment, Chick-fil-A will be giving away 10,000 free sandwiches during the lunch hour on November 15th and November 16th. Go forth and “Eat Mor Chikin.”
