Chick-Fil-A Aficionados Hit Jersey

Chick-Fil-A may be owned by a devout Southern Baptist, but for fans of the fast food chain, new locations are more like Mecca. Case in point: The opening of the Audubon, N.J., Chick-fil-A, which the Courier-Post recapped yesterday.

Since 2003, the company has given out $260 in coupons to the first 100 people in line when new locations open. And now there are a whole group of “Chick-fil-A heads” who go to a ton of openings. Joe Wolfe drove all the way from Winchester, Va., to attend his fourth store opening. There was also Marianne Trovato from Bensalem, who was attending her eighth opening. And don’t forget Mike Lucci, of Pine Hill, N.J., who was at his third opening.

Seriously, follow the link. This is all real, I swear.

“This is probably the coldest, but it’s still worth it,” Lucci said. “It has good food. I won’t buy from a McDonald’s. I don’t like their greasy food.”

Because when I think of the opposite of McDonald’s, I think Chick-fil-A. Ahh, whatever. It is a free $260 worth of food. I’m thinking of hitting up the next opening, and I don’t even like Chick-fil-A.

Fast Food Joint A Natural Antidepressant

The president of Chick-fil-A recently visited the area, brightening all with his vision of chicken, waffle fries and Jesus. (All Chick-fil-A locations are closed on Sundays to honor Our Lord. Also, the dude who founded the place didn’t like working Sundays. But that probably had something to do with God, too.)

COO and prez Dan Cathy visited the Springfield Park store, paying for his meal. “I want to know what it feels like to pay full price for the food,” Cathy said. He did not say the experience was “exhilarating,” but I think we can assume that’s how it went.

And, just why does Chick-fil-A have such a successful business model? Why, it’s… well, here:

“We just elevate the chicken sandwich by giving it good customer service,” Cathy said, adding that any particular environment has a direct influence on product.

“The term restaurant means a place of refreshment, an oasis from the tough world out there,” he said, adding that customers are invited to visit the Chick-fil-As for a relaxing atmosphere. “It actually affects the taste of food.”

An oasis of fast food among… all the other fast food places in the mall. But, hey, it’s the most relaxing part of the food court.
