My coworker says "There's a giant blow-up cow and balloons and directions to turn in but it's still that Vineyard coffeshop building."

Anybody know the scoop?

11/18/2010 1:56:51 PM

I heard it was a Bojangles V2.0

11/18/2010 1:57:25 PM

i, too, saw the inflated cow ... but saw no evidence of a CFA building

11/18/2010 1:59:07 PM

i always thought the vineyard was a church. it is a coffeeshop?

11/18/2010 1:59:16 PM

tricking people into thinking there was a chickfila grand opening seems like a reasonable chance for people to come by your store...people flock to them shits to try and get the free chickfila for a year they give out.

11/18/2010 1:59:21 PM

I remember driving by there the other day and seeing a sign saying they served Chick-fil-A. I'm skeptical though.

11/18/2010 1:59:31 PM

if you go to the one on Capital, by Steak n Shake, during breakfast hours, you can get a free chicken biscuit if you say you have a coupon for one

they never actually ask for it when you get to the window

11/18/2010 2:00:14 PM

Please guys, I have a dinner date tonight.

11/18/2010 2:01:25 PM

Interesting how, if true, that [Christian] Vineyard place will become a [Christian] Chick-fil-A...

11/18/2010 2:14:36 PM

They're building a Chick-fil-a in Cameron Village in 2011, I doubt they'd open another one up so close.

11/18/2010 2:16:04 PM

It is a 7/11, not a Chick-fil-A.

11/18/2010 2:17:11 PM

Vineyard closed, didn't it? I always knew Priscilla's would win in the end.

11/18/2010 2:30:32 PM

that'd be sweet. good location for them, they would kill. dairy queen would finally go out of business.

11/18/2010 2:33:35 PM

Chick fil A and Smithfield's are both needed on Western

11/18/2010 2:35:23 PM

^^dairy queen has been gone

so basically what you're saying is that there would be no change

11/18/2010 2:40:20 PM

^Well, at least there would be some delicious ass chicken now.

11/18/2010 2:45:10 PM

send in the helicopters



they would need to build CFA it's own lane on Western w/ a tollbooth style order taker

LOL Where have you been?

It's a Smithfield's Chicken & BBQ. I made a thread about it a while back.

To me, it look like a Chick-Fil-A to me.

they've been saying they'd do this for at least two years

I'll be surprised if they actually get around to doing it

11/18/2010 3:27:33 PM

they should build it in the void underneath cameron village

What a nightmare that location would be...probably worse than the one in North Hills in terms of number of rich stay at home moms, privileged hipster ass high school kids, and others who think that a place is automatically classier b/c it's in CV.

11/18/2010 3:40:00 PM

so really..

what the hell is going on with the blow up CFA cow and balloons on Western?

11/18/2010 3:54:49 PM

Please guys, he has a dinner date tonight and wants to know if he can get CFA near his place.

11/18/2010 3:57:53 PM

I don't know about that, but they are really building the Chick-fil-A at Cameron Village, and it will open late spring or summer.

I presume everyone here knows where the rite-aide is, well, since that parking lot is atrociously over-sized the chick-fil-a will be built to occupy a significant portion of that parking lot. The front of the building will face the Talbots and the building itself will be 2-stories.

Right now the project is being delayed because city rules require for there to be 14ft of walk-way space, and once the CFA is built that required space will not exist. Hearings are being held to determine if CFA can get a pass on the regulation or not.

McDonald's did it.

11/18/2010 4:11:11 PM

McDonald's has 30,000+ locations in the US, Chick-fil-a has 1,600...don't be a dumbass

11/18/2010 4:15:23 PM

cameron village and western are pretty far apart, in a number of ways...

chick-fil-a is selling $5 lunch meals (chicken sandwich, tea, chips, brownie) 10:30-1:30 in the vineyard shop


they started this at least a week ago

11/18/2010 4:57:10 PM

^^^
How is that relevant?

Are you saying that McDonalds is better than Chick-fil-A?

[Edited on November 18, 2010 at 4:59 PM. Reason : ^]

11/18/2010 4:57:20 PM

It's relevant because Chick-fil-a only licenses a very limited number of franchises per year (according to one website 80-100), obviously significantly fewer than McDonalds. I guess they could license two franchises in a relatively small geographic area, but considering they're on average only going to set up 2 stores per state I doubt they would put both of them in the same quadrant of one city.

11/18/2010 5:31:05 PM

its a lot like the krispy kreme fundraisers.

i find that falls river is far worse than north hills. those north ridge moms flock to the falls river one. there is never anyone at the NH location when i am there. CV would indeed be a mad house, though.

haha... you think Chick-fil-A locations are distributed as evenly as McDonalds?

2 stores per state? 100 stores then? I thought you said 1600....
Also, do you think there are some states with 0?

I second the need for a Smithfields but the CFA would be awesome too

11/18/2010 5:39:30 PM

^^ I think he means new stores opening within a year period

but i still don't buy that number. Seems like in parts of Cary and Garner you can be in the parking lot of one Chick-Fil-A see another one right down the street.

11/18/2010 5:42:43 PM

Chick-fil-A MILFS

11/18/2010 6:14:28 PM

I, too, saw the cow

and theres a chic-fil-a banner hanging on the building too

11/18/2010 6:17:17 PM

speaking of ITB matters, anyone notice the very much scantily clad Broughton girl's cross country team gallivanting around oberlin everyday?

I will now.

11/18/2010 6:22:43 PM

All I know is I'm not believing this Chick-fil-a on Western exists until I see it with my own eyes. This is just like the cadbury egg milkshake at cookout.

11/18/2010 6:25:00 PM

i suppose i could add chick-fil-a into my daily flying biscuit->fosters routine

11/18/2010 6:28:10 PM

chic-fil-a would do a ton of business at CV. would they allow gays to make out in there?

11/18/2010 6:30:07 PM

nope, but I sure did see them boys

I will have to remember to ask a friend whos family owns the local cfa franchises about anymore opening. she usually has to dress as the cow, hahahah.

so does anyone else live near the broughton/north hills area?

11/18/2010 7:03:01 PM

i live in cameron village, and have not heard about the chick fil a at rite aid, but there used to be small sign in the building behind Mcdonalds that said a chick fil a was opening there, but that was a year ago, and the sign is gone. and i do see the broughton girls running quite often, and i've had to avoid being a victim of mayhem.

ever since the whole fiasco about the apts and shops on the corner where that gas station is(was), i'm sure plans have changed a bit.

11/18/2010 8:07:55 PM

this thread got my hopes up

thanks tww
