Chick-fil-A will begin serving customers at its new Athens restaurant on East State Street starting at 6:30 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 15. The new restaurant will offer dine-in, drive-thru, carry-out and third-party delivery service from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday. The restaurant will mark its opening day by inviting guests of all ages to a Moove-In Party . Anyone who visits dressed in cow spots, from a full costume to a simple spotted accessory, can get one free entrée or kid's meal inside or at the drive-thru while supplies last. No purchase is required for the offer. Sheldon Allen was chosen as the local Owner-Operator for the Athens location. Allen, who started as a Team Member with Chick-fil-A in 2012, reflected on his journey with the company. \"Throughout my Chick-fil-A journey, my passion for serving others has continued to grow through the people and experiences that have shaped me,\" Allen said. \"I’m excited to bring that same spirit of care to Athens by developing young leaders, building meaningful relationships and creating a restaurant where our Team Members and Guests feel like family.\" - Sheldon Allen This new opportunity allows Allen and his wife to be closer to family in Athens.
