Chick-fil-A fans camp out for Glenwood opening

Chick-fil-A fans are getting ready for a night of fun and chicken at the chain’s newest store at Glenwood Place in Glenwood Park.

Dozens of people, armed with sleeping bags and tents, are preparing for a night under the stars so they can be one of the first 100 in the store’s doors when it officially opens Thursday at 6 a.m. The camp out is a tradition for the Atlanta chain when opening a new store. The first 100 diners get a free Chick-fil-A meal a week for a year.

To enjoy the evening, the fans are playing games, participating in singing contest and working on craft projects. A DJ is also spinning for what will be a Ice Dream dance party.
