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.
