More Than 150 In Line for Chick-fil-A's 'First 100' Campaign
Lucky 100 now have to camp out for the day to receive free one free Chick-fil-A sandwich a week for a year.
They came with tents, computers, TVs and anything else they thought would help pass the time. In the end, only 100 were chosen to vie for a chance to win free Chick-fil-A sandwiches for a year.
More than 150 people attended the Wentzville Chick-fil-A's First 100 Camp Out, a standard grand-opening affair that doles out 52 free restaurant certificates to the first 100 in line. Since there were more than 100, winners were determined by raffle at 6 a.m. this morning.
Now, those selected will have to camp out on the grounds until 6 a.m. Thursday to claim their prize.
