Texas Mortgage & Real Estate Thoughts

Yesterday, my wife (Andrea) and I had lunch together.  Typically, we are unable to have lunch because she is caught up in meetings or can't take a full hour (the life of a VP).  Anyway, we thought some chicken sandwiches sounded good.  And of course if you think Chicken Sandwich, you have to think of Chick-fila.  Well there is a new Chick-fila coming to Frisco, TX.  We were not sure when it was opening, but thought it would be a good idea to check it out.  Usually when anything opens in Frisco, it is PACKED with people.  But hey, we love to support the new local restaurants and a chicken sandwich from there is always good.

When we arrived, we were not surprised that we missed the opening BY ONE DAY.  It actually opened today (11/20/08).  We were, however, surprised to see this very large crowd.  Not just a crowd... this was a crowd with tents.  Remember, I went on 11/19 and it did not open until 11/20.  I figured there must be someone important coming or something to give a speech.  NOPE!  Turns out that the first few customers that arrived would receive a free meal once a week for a year.

Sure, if you happen to be the first person to show up.. BONUS.. you get free lunch for a year (we are talking about a $5.50 meal).  But posting tents and sleeping overnight... I don't think so.  Check out the photos I took while driving by...
