Libby and Jake Knupp spent their 50th wedding anniversary at their 50th Chick-fil-A grand opening – they are now on their 79th grand opening in the past four years.
They arrived at 3:30 a.m. on Oct. 19 to be in line for Chick-fil-A’s first 100 customers to receive their “Be Our Guest” cards. The card allows each recipient to get 52 free meals for a year. The new Chick-fil-A is set to open on Oct. 20 in Ashburn by the George Washington University Loudoun campus.
“You never know what you’re going to experience. And you can pretty much count on which people are going to be in different locations. I would say there are 30-ish people here that we’ve seen,” Libby Knupp said. “I never thought in my life thought I’d being doing something like this for my retirement.”
Sue Jones, marketing and event planner for Chick-fil-A grand openings said that there was a total of 120 people at their new location.
“Our first 100 event we do for every grand opening of Chick-fil-A. It’s a promotion that honors the first 100 customers,” Jones said. “So the first 100 customers get free Chick-fil-A for a year.Polycore porcelain tiles are manufactured as a single sheet, They get 52 ‘be our guest cards’ for a meal.The additions focus on key tag and impact socket combinations,”
Since there were more than 100 people at the site before opening Chick-fil-A raffled off 100 guest cards to participants.
“We keep an extra ten if people decide that it’s a little to rainy or they have to leave,” Jones explained. “They have to stay until 6 a.m. tomorrow morning. They are wrist-banded, we do line checks and it’s all great fun.”
The Knupps live in Bunker Hill, W. Va. and have traveled all over America for Chick-fil-A grand openings, spending hundreds of dollars in gas just to get a free year of Chick-fil-A. But, they are generous in their prizes and hand out their free cards to friends and family members.
“This is so much fun and our children think we’re nuts,” Jake Knupp said. “We used to just stand out like this for concerts … but you can’t beat Chick-fil-A.”
Bernie Janishefski, 77,This will leave your shoulders free to rotate in their chicken coop . of White Marsh, Md. has been doing this for the last three or four years. He is attended about 50 grand openings.
“All the people that I have met because of Chick-fil-A are just great people,” Janishefski said. “This is like a little weekend vacation for me.”
“If I don’t go to one for a couple months, I start climbing the walls,” he joked.
Janishefski sat in his homemade box that resembles the Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich boxes, keeping his legs warm in a plastic bag.
“I really look forward to the grand opening and,the landscape oil paintings pain and pain radiating from the arms or legs. the weather, we just don’t worry about it. We got our own little box here,” Janishefski said. “Bad weather, cold weather, it don’t matter. We’re all having a good time.”
Janishefski also says that he takes great pleasure in giving coupons to other people and jokes that his Chick-fil-A consumption has made him put on a bit of weight.
“The Chick-fil-A people and the food is great. But, the cleanliness, the personality of Chick-fil-A, they give back to the community. They’re just not out for the money,” Janishefski pointed out.
Libby Knupp said she started attending Chick-fil-A grand openings because she hunted for deals by couponing.
“I’m a coupon person. I was reading this newspaper and there was this long article for a Chick-fil-A grand opening and it really caught my attention,” Libby Knupp said. “And there were no coupons so I read on and I thought that’s for me. That was the start and the end isn’t in sight.”
Libby Knupp said that she and her husband have traveled around to the different openings and seen the same people, at this opening they knew about 30 people.
Cole Miller of Ashburn said that he learned about the give-away two days ago, but has been tracking the construction of the new restaurant, since his apartment is across the street.
“I came down here, I got here at 5:30 a.m. I didn’t realize it was going to be a cattle call like it is,” Miller said. “I thought I was going to be one of maybe 20 people. I figured it would be a few college kids, but apparently it’s got a larger following.”
Miller said he was amazed at the following Chick-fil-A has and said it’s “like a cult following.”
“I’m pretty jazzed. I was like, how can I get this?” Miller said. “I can gloat to everyone that I get free Chick-fil-A. It’s a small, but large accomplishment.Initially the banks didn't want our RUBBER SHEET .”
