The opening of any new Chick-fil-A is a grand spectacle that attracts Chick-fil-A lovers across the country. The new store in Cameron Village Shopping Center is the company’s first-ever, two-story location. The grand opening on Thursday, March 1 is expected to attract thousands of people.
Yes, thousands, including many hundreds of Chick-fil-A fanatics who are anticipated to camp out to be among the first customers. Chick-fil-A fans travel to store openings nationwide–Cameron Village is no exception.
Chick-fil-A reportedly will raffle off 100 free-meals-for-a-year coupons on opening day, another big draw for some foodies.
It is possible that protesters may come, folks who are not keen on Chick-fil-A for various reasons–the good old American way! If so, the disenchanted may the throngs of fans even further.
All in all, the event promises plenty of excitement–in forms to appeal to every taste, even the most jaded soul–and lots of traffic. Raleigh Police Department (RPD) will be on hand to direct traffic and to keep order, but you may want to steer your vehicle to a parking place well clear of the corner of Woodburn & Cameron and approach the gala on foot instead.
