Chick-fil-A at Kenwood Towne Centre Kick-off Football Season

The Chick-fil-A® restaurant at Kenwood Towne Centre (7875 Montgomery Road) is kicking off the 2008 football season with a free food giveaway. In celebration of the inaugural Chick-fil-A® Kickoff on Aug. 30 and the introduction of the new Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips® menu item, the restaurants will offer a free 3-count serving of Chick-n-Strips(TM) to any customer wearing any football related apparel on Monday, Sept. 1, from 10:30 a.m. until 6 p.m.

Appropriate attire can include any visible article of clothing that contains any football team logo – from a pee wee league uniform to high school football spirit wear to a favorite NFL or collegiate jersey, hat, t-shirt or other accessories. The giveaway will be promoted during the Chick-fil-A College Kickoff broadcast on ABC, as well as other national and regional television networks.

In addition to the free strips for football-attired customers, the celebration will last all day long with mini football giveaways, as well as sampling of Chick-fil-A® Handspun Milkshakes and Brownies. Each customer throughout the day will also receive a coupon for free food to use during a future visit:

· 1st Quarter (10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.) – Coupon for a free Chick-fil-A® Chicken Biscuit.

· 2nd Quarter (12:30 – 2:30 p.m.) – Coupon for a free Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich.

· 3rd Quarter (2:30 – 4:30 p.m.) – Coupon for a free 3-count of Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips.

· 4th Quarter (4:30 – 6:00 p.m.) – Coupon for a free Chick-fil-A® Hand-Spun Milkshake.

"The football season is an exciting time of year and we thought free food would be a great way to celebrate your football team and encourage customers to try our new Chick-n-Strips,” said Kevin Bulmann, franchise operator of the Chick-fil-A® at Kenwood Towne Centre. "Simply wear your football spirit on your sleeve – so to speak – and we'll gladly provide an opportunity to enjoy our new Chick-n-Strips for free. Whether your team wins or loses, free Chick-fil-A food is a great proposition for any football fan.”

As part of the chain's most aggressive menu enhancement periods in its 41-year history, Chick-fil-A introduced its new Chick-n-Strips product in May that is 50 percent larger than the chain's previous strip offering. The Chick-n-Strips are offered as a 3- or 4-count entrée for adults and in 1- and 2-counts for Chick-fil-A® Kid's Meals. To complement the new Chick-n-Strips, Chick-fil-A has developed a new proprietary dipping sauce: a smokey mustard recipe, called the Chick-fil-A® Sauce.
