This week the new East Ridge Chick-fil-A off Interstate 75 will open with a relatively new kind of celebration for the national chain.
Instead of loyal customers camping overnight for the chance to win free Chick-fil-A for a year, the first 100 participants who arrive to the new location at 639 Camp Jordan Parkway on Wednesday beginning at 6 a.m. will receive free meals for a year and participate in a six-hour “Road Trip” through the city.

Chick-fil-A organizes First 100 road trips with the opening of its new stores, allowing those who might otherwise wait in line for the opening to visit places and perform voluntary work. Up to 100 eligible participants, such as those pictured here at a recent road trip before a new Chick-fil-A opening, can earn up to a year’s supply of Chick-fil-A food.Participants who are 18 and older will complete activities at four different stops designed to make them “get up and move” and give back to the community before ending at the new restaurant for games and music, according to company officials. At the end of the tour, participants will receive an offer card with their one-year supply of food, which includes 52 meals consisting of a chicken sandwich, medium waffle potato fries and a medium drink. The restaurant’s grand opening will be Thursday.
The Atlanta-based eatery has 82 locations in Tennessee, including the grand opening of the East Ridge Chick-fil-A this Thursday. The 5,000-square-foot restaurant across from Bass Pro Shops is also the eighth Chick-fil-A in the Chattanooga market, which includes Fort Oglethorpe and Cleveland, Tenn., said franchise operator Heath Kyle.
