Chick-Fil-A Slated To Open In September

Southeast Missourian:

Chick-fil-A‘s grand opening in Cape Girardeau is now set for Sept. 8, according to Brenda Morrow, of Chick-fil-A’s corporate communications office. It was previously reported that the restaurant would open Aug. 25, according to a business license filed at city hall.

A new Facebook page, Chick-fil-A at Cape Girardeau, has also been launched to promote the restaurant. It includes a link to a job application for those seeking employment. People may also apply at a trailer at the construction site.

Chick-fil-A has a tradition of giving away free Chick-fil-A for a year to the first 100 customers in the form of 52 coupons for free meals. Customers must be in line at least 24 hours to qualify. A recent Associated Press story reported the Chick-fil-A turns the overnight wait into a party in the parking lot, with hula hoop contests, karaoke and lots of free chicken. It does line checks to make sure people don’t leave and distributes wristbands to make sure they don’t split shifts.
