The parking
lot next to the new Chick-Fil-A eatery in Santee was transformed into a tent
city today, as scores of people camped out for a chance to win a free meal each week for a year
By 6 a.m.
Wednesday, approximately 140 people had already lined up to get a number to
qualify for the giveaway, which will be awarded to the first 100 people in
line. Because of the overwhelming
response, a raffle was held to assign priority numbers to the first 100 contestants
and 10 alternates.
To win, the
contestants must stay on the premises until the grand opening Thursday at 6:30
a.m.
The contestants
were in good spirits and appeared to be well prepared for the challenge as they
set up tents, cots and other creature comforts to endure the overnight wait in
line. One contestant said it was his 14th time competing for the
weekly meal prize.
The Chick-Fil-A,
which is at 9418 Mission Gorge Road, will
be open from 6:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
