WOODBRIDGE, Va. — There are some very special VIPs among us at area Chick-fil-A restaurants.
The fast food chain asked each Chick-fil-A store in the Washington area to seek written submissions from members of the community stating why they should be chosen as a Chick-fil-A VIP. The winners have been announced, and they will be flown to company headquarters in Atlanta for a private tour.
More about the winners in a press release:
On Tuesday, Dec. 4, the Chick-fil-A franchise Operators, “VIPs” and their guests will fly to Atlanta for a one-day tour of the Chick-fil-A corporate headquarters and historical company landmarks.
To participate in the contest, guests submitted a written story via Facebook explaining why they should be elected “VIP” of their local Chick-fil-A restaurant. Each restaurant selected up to five “candidates,” and customers and friends voted for their favorite finalists. Election results parties were held to celebrate the five candidates and “VIP of My Chick-fil-A” contest winners at each restaurant.
