There is already one sure sign a new Chick-fil-A is getting ready to open — hordes of people camping out looking to be one of 100 to get free Chick-fil-A for a year.Ahead of Thursday’s 9 a.m. grand opening at 2349 Sun Vista Dr. in the Cypress Creek Town Center on S.R. 56, roughly 75 people are already in line for the First 100 celebration, in the hopes of grabbing one of the lucky vouchers for 52 weeks of free chicken meals. Those in line will be served meals and entertained by a DJ as the clock ticks down.
The line opened at 6 a.m. this morning.
The First 100 is a tradition over 12 years old, and has given away nearly $27 million in free food. Each of the 100 lucky participants (18 and over only) will get a digital card loaded with 52 meal credits for a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich, medium waffle fries and medium drink.The new Chick-fil-A will be Lutz’s first of the stand-alone variety, and the 28th store in the Tampa Bay area. Local franchise owner Britt Young is expected to add 100 jobs to the community.
If you are reading this, you very likely live in the correct zip code to be eligible to attend the event. But to be safe, the list is here. A valid ID is required, or some acceptable documentation verifying your residence.
 Young is also encouraging customers to bring new and gently used books to benefit Lutz Elementary.
