Grand Opening of Chick-fil-A at Somerset Collection

Natalie and I went to the Grand Opening of the new Chick-fil-A at Somerset Collection on October 13, 2016 and it was quite an event!! We had tons of fun and enjoyed being a part of the Grand Opening! The day previous I attended a media event and was able to get a sneak peek of the delicious offerings the Somerset location will have on the menu!

We got to sample the yogurt parfait and it was delicious!

A great selection of grilled chicken items!

Yum! Their lemonade is the BEST!

We also had a quick facility tour where we could check out the behind the scenes operations that go on at Chick-fil-A restaurants! I wasn't able to take any pictures of their machinery... but they did leave this great message made of condiments to show how excited Chick-fil-A is to be in Troy, MI!

After the facility tour, I went up to the parking garage roof top to check out where there were already people camping out to receive one of the 100 gift cards Chick-fil-A was giving away during the Grand Opening! By 8:30pm the night before the opening, they already had 110 campers set up and ready to wait through the night to receive their gift cards!

Check out the highlights of my media tour event here:

The following day, Natalie was off of school so she was able to go to the Grand Opening of the Somerset Collection Chick-fil-A! I knew she would be excited to see "The Cows"... you know how we love our characters!!

Grand Opening fun!

We cheered on the parade of customers who were the first 100 people in line, that all received a gift card with 52 free #1 Combo Chicken meals on it - a "Year's Worth of Free Chicken!"- took some photos with the Chick-fil-A Cows, and then watched the official opening of the store!

This is one of our favorite places to get lunch and the girls love Chick-fil-A kids' meals! Thank you to franchise owner Blake Dennard for hosting us, I know we will be visiting the Somerset Collection location frequently!

Chick-fil-A Mom Panel 2016-17

I'm excited to again be a part of the Chick-fil-A Mom Panel for the 2016-17 panel!

Thanks to Alyssa from EllieGBeansMom for the great blog button!

The Chick-fil-A Mom Panel is made up of a diverse group of women, many of whom are bloggers or YouTubers, who have come together through their love of Chick-fil-A! Here in Michigan, we currently have a majority of Chick-fil-A locations that are within food courts, but the company's presence is expected to grow here over the next few years and I'm excited about the possibility of having a Chick-fil-A drive through and play place for the kids to go to, if one of the new freestanding locations is close enough to our location in metro Detroit!

For now, we are celebrating the opening of a new Chick-fil-A location close to us here in metro Detroit at Somerset Collection, coming Fall 2016!

Here's to another year of delicious chicken and fun cow hats!
