Ann Arbor's First Chick-fil-A To Offer Free Meal for Cow Costumes on Opening Day

In a playful nod to the popular fried chicken chain's advertising campaign, Chick-fil-A is set to open its first location in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with a promotion that will make customers moo-ve over with excitement. On opening day, December 12th, diners who dress up as cows can enjoy a free entrée at the new restaurant.

The store, owned and operated by local resident Joyce Mueller, is located at 3310 Washtenaw Ave. and promises to bring a taste of hospitality to the community. Mueller, a University of Michigan alumna of four generations, aims to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels at home.

To celebrate its grand opening, Chick-fil-A has invited customers to "eat more chicken" – literally – by dressing up as cows on opening day. The promotion applies to anyone wearing cow-print attire, whether it's a full cow costume or just a simple accessory.

The new store will create approximately 80 jobs in the community and is set to open at 6:30 a.m. on December 12th. While details about the menu have not been released, fans of Chick-fil-A can expect their signature fried chicken sandwiches and other favorites.

Mueller's passion for Michigan and hospitality runs deep, reflecting her family's long history with the University of Michigan. As a former leadership role at the university and a first-generation Chick-fil-A Team Member at 15, Mueller is dedicated to creating a restaurant that not only serves delicious food but also gives back to the community.

Don't miss out on this moo-ving opportunity to try Chick-fil-A's fried chicken sandwiches while showing off your cow spirit. Get dressed up and head to 3310 Washtenaw Ave. on December 12th for a free entrée and a taste of Ann Arbor hospitality.
 
omg, this is so cool!!! i love how chick-fil-a is getting into the holiday spirit by having a cow costume promo 🤠🎉 ann arbor is gonna be so fun to visit on dec 12th! it's awesome that they're creating jobs and bringing people together with their hospitality vibes 🌈. and mueller sounds like an amazing owner, all about community and giving back ❤️ can't wait to try that free meal... who's dressing up as a cow?
 
omg i love this idea!!! who wouldn't wanna dress up as a cow & get a free meal?? Joyce Mueller is literally the coolest, all that history & passion into the community is super inspiring 🤩💖 cant wait to try Chick-fil-A's food on opening day, gonna rock that cow costume 💁‍♀️🐮
 
idk why ppl r making such a big deal about this new Chick-fil-A in Ann Arbor... it's just another fast food joint 🤔. they're giving out free meals to people who dress up as cows, like what's the point? 🐮 it's not like it's gonna make ur life better or anything. and 80 jobs created is just a drop in the bucket compared to all the other stuff that really matters...
 
I mean, what's with all these crazy marketing stunts nowadays? Free meal for cow costumes? It's just a bunch of hooey! In my day, we didn't need no fancy promotions to get people to try our food. We'd just sit down at the counter and enjoy a good ol' fashioned burger or sandwich. And you know what? It was always delicious!

And don't even get me started on these new-fangled jobs. 80 jobs created by one restaurant? That's just not how it works, folks! When I was growing up, we didn't need all those fancy degrees and qualifications to get a job. You'd just pick up some experience and you're good to go!

But hey, if people want to dress up as cows in cow-print attire, that's their prerogative! Just don't expect me to join in on the fun anytime soon 🤣🐮
 
OMG, I'm so down for this! A free meal for cow costumes is literally the cutest thing ever 🐄😂🍗. I can already imagine the lines at that new Chick-fil-A in Ann Arbor on opening day – it's gonna be a moo-ving experience! 🚨 And 80 jobs created? That's amazing news for the community. Joyce Mueller must be super proud to bring this brand to her hometown 🙌. I'm curious, though... will they have udderly ridiculous cow-themed merchandise at the store? 🤣
 
I think its pretty cool that they're doin this promotion at the new Chick-fil-A in Ann Arbor 🤠🍗 Their store is gonna bring some warmth to the community, and its awesome that Joyce Mueller is passin on her family's legacy by keepin it real with Michigan roots. I'd love to see a diagram of what the store would look like if they put together an ASCII art mural of cows in Ann Arbor 🎨🐮
 
I'm so done with this whole cow costume thing 🤣, like what's next? Free chicken for people in superhero costumes? I mean, I get it, Chick-fil-A wants to have some fun, but can't they just leave the cows at the farm? This is just ridiculous. And 80 jobs created, yeah yeah, that's great and all, but I'm pretty sure the only thing being hired are people who'll be dressing up as cows on a daily basis 🤪. And don't even get me started on the whole "eat more chicken" promotion... like, hello? Can we just focus on eating actual chicken instead of cow ones for once?
 
idk why ppl r so hyped bout dis lol 😂, just another chick-fil-a opening, who cares if u dress as a cow or not? 🤣 it's jus a free meal, big deal...and btw, 80 jobs in the community? sounds like a pretty sweet gig 💸 but for all the cow-costume enthusiasts out there, go ahead and moo-ve on over to ann arbor on dec 12th 👀
 
You know, think about it... Chick-fil-A is trying to bring some fun to their grand opening by embracing the idea of not taking yourself too seriously 🤣. They're literally offering a free meal just because someone wants to dress up as a cow – it's like they're saying, "Hey, we don't have to be so formal all the time." And that's something we can all learn from. We should be more willing to let loose and have fun, too. Maybe instead of stressing about what others think, we could just go out there and be ourselves... even if that means wearing a cow costume 😂.
 
idk why they gotta dress up as cows tho 🤷‍♀️, it sounds kinda weird... but hey, who am i to judge? as long as the food is fire, i'm down 🍗👌 ann arbor needs another good eat spot and if this chick-fil-a can bring some fun to the table, i'm all for it 😊. 80 jobs? that's awesome, gotta love when businesses create opportunities for locals 💼. overall, sounds like they're gonna bring some warmth to the community with this new store 👍
 
omg, cows in chick-fil-a? 🐮😂 i'm low-key excited for this but also kinda worried it's just gonna be some lame marketing gimmick. but at the same time, who doesn't love a good chicken sandwich? 🍗👌 mueller seems like a really cool person tho, especially since she's got that umich spirit going on and all. anyway, i'm def gonna dress up as a cow and try to get in on this free meal deal...but only if they're serving those waffle fries 🤤
 
omg, I'm kinda weird about this whole cow costume thing but at the same time it sounds like so much fun 😂🐄 I think its actually pretty cool that they're doing this to celebrate their opening day, I mean who doesn't love free food? Plus, Mueller seems super passionate about Michigan and hospitality which is really great to see. idk what kinda jobs they'll be hiring for but hopefully its a mix of front-of-house and back-of-house staff so they can both get a taste of the action 🤞
