Chick-fil-A will open a restaurant in the fast-growing Millsboro area on April 5.
The opening of the popular chicken sandwich chain is expected to lead to campouts, with the first customers getting prizes.
The owner is Tim Sweetman.
Openings are so popular that early customers must reside in zip codes near the restaurant. Click here to see the list of documents that can prove residence
Chick-fil-A generates the highest per store revenue of any fast food operation. The average location generates $4 million a year.
Peak hour business has been known to fill drive-up lanes in some locations in Delaware and elsewhere.
The company has a unique franchise model that limits owners to one store and perhaps an inside mall location. Delaware has about a dozen locations.
Chick-fi-A makes no secret of its Christian beliefs and values that include locations not being open on Sunday.
Owners of franchise recruit employees from churches and other faith-based organizations.
The company has been expanding into larger cities in recent years. Late this month, the company opened a location in the financial district of New York City.
The company is still seeking full and part-time staff.
