This time I was joined by the regulars, my brother and sister-in-law, Brian and Pam Slade, but some newbies joined us too, my husband, Mike (so together we got 104 coupons, a value of over $500), my sister, Mariah, her husband, Nick and my older brother, William. A lot more people must have been aware of this Grand Opening because the line reached 100 people by 6:30pm and at the South Jordan grand opening the 100th person didn't check in until around 10:00pm. Because of the unexpected crowds we were on the phone telling everyone to rush over or they weren't going to get a spot, luckily everyone made it and the last one in our group to check in was #97.
The night and sleeping were the same, except for a lot, lot colder. I have to give a special shout out to Brian and Pam for keeping us from freezing. They let us sleep in their tent, use all the propane in their heaters and use their toe warmers. I would have frozen if it weren't for all that. Brian and Pam set up two tents, one had a couple of propane space heaters in it that kept it really warm, so we sat in there and talked and played card games until it was time for bed. In the other tent were our beds. We all snuggled up in our sleeping bags with blankets piled on top of us with our hats, scarves and gloves still on and tried to get some sleep.
In the morning we got in line and ran through the store cheering that it was finally open and glad to get our coupons. I had some cash on me and they asked who wanted to be the first customer, so I went up to the counter and ordered the first thing ever in the West Jordan Chick Fil A. They asked me to sign the dollar, so maybe they will hang it on and wall and I will be famous.
Anyway, hopefully these coupons will last longer than my other ones. I only have 4 coupons left from the South Jordan grand opening and it was less than 6 months ago.
