KENNEWICK, Wash. – The Tri-Cities area is preparing for the arrival of its first Chick-fil-A restaurant, scheduled to open on June 19. The new location, currently under construction in Kennewick, has generated excitement among local residents eager to try the popular fast-food chain.
According to the restaurant’s Google listing, the grand opening will take place at the site in the Hobby Lobby parking lot. The facility will include 70 indoor seats, a two-lane drive-through, and nearly 100 parking spaces. The project, costing over $1.1 million, is nearly halfway complete, city permits show.
Local resident Teri Miller shared her enthusiasm, saying, “Once you are familiar with Chick-fil-A, you wonder why we don’t have one here. My sister lives in Boise, and every time I visit, that’s the first place I want to go.” Miller’s comments reflect the anticipation many in the community feel about the new restaurant.
Chick-fil-A is also known for its grand opening promotions. Traditionally, the first 100 guests in line at a new location receive a special prize: free Chick-fil-A meals for a year. This prize consists of one combo meal per week for 52 weeks, including a chicken sandwich, waffle fries, and a drink. The company often holds “First 100” events where participants may camp out or gather early to secure a spot in line. However, recent openings have shifted toward selecting local community heroes or conducting sweepstakes to award these prizes, rather than overnight camping.
The new Kennewick Chick-fil-A is expected to become a popular dining spot in the Tri-Cities, offering its signature chicken sandwiches, breakfast items, and friendly service. Residents look forward to the convenience of a local location and the community atmosphere Chick-fil-A promotes.
As the June 19 opening approaches, excitement continues to build. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to take part in the festivities and possibly be among the first 100 guests to enjoy a year of free meals.
In summary, the arrival of Chick-fil-A in Kennewick marks a significant addition to the Tri-Cities dining scene. With a modern facility and community-focused events, the restaurant is poised to become a favorite destination for locals and visitors alike.
