How can you score free breakfast at Northern California Chick-fil-A locations?
As people around the world make their New Year’s resolutions, a fried chicken chain is resolving to get Sacramento-area diners to “Eat Mor Chikin.”
Chick-Fil-A restaurants across Northern California are offering free breakfast sandwiches to all customers in the first two weeks of the year.
“We’re thrilled to kick off the new year by treating our neighbors to a complimentary breakfast item,” Jeremy Youngers, owner of an Arden Arcade Chick-fil-A, said in a news release. “We hope our guests will stop by and enjoy a chicken biscuit, on us!”
According to a Chick-fil-A spokesperson, 17 restaurants across Northern California are participants in the giveaway.
Here’s how you can get your free chicken breakfast.
