Expansion Continues in Dallas with Sept. 8 Chick-fil-A Opening Creating 80 New Jobs

Restaurant Awards Year Supply of Chick-fil-A to First 100 in Line; Holds Book Drive to Benefit Tom C. Gooch Elementary School

DALLAS (Sept. 8, 2016) – Local franchise owner Kristi Mead will open Dallas’s newest stand-alone Chick-fil-A restaurant with the Sept. 8 opening bringing 80 new jobs, a chance for 100 adults to win free Chick-fil-A meals for a year and the opportunity for the community to donate children’s books to Tom C. Gooch Elementary. This is the third Chick-fil-A restaurant to open in Dallas-Ft. Worth within the past four months.

The family friendly overnight First 100 party will pop up in the restaurant parking lot at 12795 Midway Road - 24 hours before the grand opening as guests try to be one of the first 100 adults through the door to win a year of free Chick-fil-A meals. This community event is open to guests residing in specific zip codes surrounding the restaurant. A list of eligible zip codes and rules can be found at www.chick-fil-a.com/Locations/Openings.

“We’re not just in the chicken business —we’re in the people business,” said Mead, “Our team is excited to serve our guests and provide a remarkable experience every time by serving food customers can truly feel good about eating, providing sincere hospitality and being a good neighbor in the Dallas community.” Mead started her Chick-fil-A career as a team member and never looked back.

The Chick-fil-A First 100

A tradition going back nearly 13 years, Chick-fil-A’s First 100 celebration has given away nearly $27 million in free food through 2015 and continues to be the chain’s signature grand opening event. Rain, snow and extreme temperatures below zero or above 100 do not deter Chick-fil-A fans who arrive with tents, chairs, TVs and computers.

Each fan hopes to win a digital offer card loaded with a one-year supply of free Chick-fil-A meals (52 meals with each consisting of a Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich, medium Waffle Potato Fries and a medium beverage) that will be awarded to the first 100 eligible adults - ages 18 and older with identification - in line when the doors open at 6 a.m. on Sept. 8. If more than 100 people are on site when the line officially opens at 6 a.m. on Sept. 7, a drawing will be held to randomly select the First 100. Those chosen will be required to camp out until the grand opening in order to secure their spot.

About Franchise Operator Kristi Mead

Mead is a true Chick-fil-A success story. Her very first job was working at Chick-fil-A while in high school. Her hard work paid off when she earned the prestigious Chick-fil-A Leadership Scholarship. Mead used that scholarship to attend the University of North Texas, where she majored in kinesiology. After graduating and while job hunting in other areas, Mead was drawn back to her Chick-fil-A roots. Shortly thereafter, she began the journey to become a Chick-fil-A franchise owner, which is no small feat, as the company receives some 24,000 applications yearly for approximately 100 franchise opportunities.

Mead’s Chick-fil-A journey hit a major high point when she became the Operator of the Hulen Mall location in 2010. She is thrilled to be part of the continued expansion of Chick-fil-A in Texas – bringing some 14 years of Chick-fil-A experience. Mead has lived in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area for more than 30 years, developing strong ties to the community, she and her daughter Kinley are excited to be joining the community in North Dallas.

Children’s Book Drive

Reflecting her desire to have an immediate, positive impact on the area, Mead is inviting the community to celebrate the new location by participating in a children’s book drive to benefit Tom C. Gooch Elementary School. Mead is collecting new and gently used children’s books at the restaurant Sept. 6-8, from 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. The donated books will be placed in a nearly 3-foot Book House to serve as a free library exchange. The Book House, built from reclaimed wood, is donated by the Chick-fil-A Foundation (www.chick-fil-afoundation.org). Since 2014, Chick-fil-A has collected more than 21,500 books which were donated to 132 local organizations in 37 states and Washington, D.C.
