It seems like every new area where Chick-fil-A opens a new restaurant sees super-long crowds line up to enjoy some delicious chicken sandwiches and waffle fries.

As Bklyner reports, Brooklyn is no exception:

… Chick-fil-A opened at 166 Flatbush Avenue this morning, right across the Barclays Center, with lines around the corner.

The big Southern chain known for its chicken sandwiches — which has also faced criticism after its founder spoke out against same-sex marriage — announced its Brooklyn opening last year, and today, it finally opened right next door to the Shake Shack. It is the seventh Chick-fil-A in NYC and the first in Brooklyn.

[…]

To celebrate the opening, Chick-fil-A’s operator Brandon Hurst did a promotion event where prizes were to be awarded for the first 100 people. Registration began today at 5 a.m., and before 7 a.m., lines were taking up the entire block.

Some Twitter users posted photos of the lines that were wrapped around the store:

A friend of the franchisee gave a shout out of encouragement and support:

Twitter user “nuffsaidny” noted this might be the first Chick-fil-A of its kind in America – one where the employees have an attitude. LOL:

As is often the case, there are people, usually liberals, who throw temper tantrums when Chick-fil-A restaurants open in their area – probably because they know the store will be wildly popular with the locals in spite of the activist left’s tiresome concern-trolling:
