chick fil a Grand opening- flowery branch, ga

this was the first time i got to be the 1st customer! you get a lot of attention. here is one of the article that i was in.

Gainesville Times
FLOWERY BRANCH
Maximilian Soubannarath of Bethlehem, south of Winder, arrived at 11 p.m. Tuesday with a couple of friends.
"Nobody was here, so we stayed for an hour and went to Wal-Mart to burn some time," he said. "Then we came back and stayed."
Soubannarath, who owns a kitchen design business with his father, ended up being first in line. He had made that a goal, as he hadnt been first before in previous trips to "First 100" events.
So why bear the cold weather and the long hours?
"Free Chick-fil-A," he said, with a laugh and while leading fellow campers on a walk around the restaurant to pick up breakfast. "Its fun. You dont get to do it very often."

yeah that is so true. but during winter time where college students are still in school. there are most likely to be fewer than a 100 people. this one there wasnt 100, there were only 80 by afternoon. but now i went to some over the summer and there were 425 people. we went in a group of 11 and 9 of us got in.

nah actually the total cost of the amount of chick fil a is $288 an yeah there was about 65 people there when we first had to go line up an sign in. o yeah its worth it too. if you like camping it would be like nothing to you, an its pretty fun.

these chick-fil-a grand opening were great a few years back but now they are a waste of time and gas money. if over 100 people show up at 6am they do a raffle to see who gets to be in the first 100. latley over 200 and more have been showing up. 348 showed up at the one in maryland august 2009. i have been to 31 grand openings in the last 3 years and got the tickets at 29 of them. it will be scary to go again more and more are showing up

Were 100 people already lined up by 6AM? If so, when did the line reach 100?

so you get 52 free meals. That is about $156. You stayed there for about 8 hours. Was it worth it? Did people who just show up when it open, any of them the first 100?
