One Chick-fil-A Owner Is Donating 200 Sandwiches to Iowa Pride Event
Revelers at an Iowa Pride fest will be eating chicken and fries donated by a local owner of the fast food franchise most associated with anti-gay sentiment.
Businesses extended some Southern hospitality to stranded motorists during the recent snow storm. Home Depot turned 27 of its stores into shelters, while management and employees from Chick-Fil-A outside of Birmingham, Ala. handed out hundreds of chicken sandwiches for free on the highway.
It only took a few inches of snow to leave thousands of drivers stranded across the South, as inaccurate weather predictions and lack of planning led to havoc on Alabama and Georgia roadways.
Thankfully, there were businesses willing to extend some Southern hospitality to the marooned drivers.
Home Depot quickly turned a number of its stores into shelters on Tuesday night. The Atlanta-based company kept 26 stores open all night long across Alabama and Georgia.
The employees from Chick-Fil-A outside of Birmingham, Ala. handed out hundreds of chicken sandwiches for free along the highway.
"We cooked several hundred sandwiches and stood out on both sides of 280 and handed out the sandwiches to anyone we could get to," said store manager, Mark Meadows (pictured).
And they refused to take a penny from the drivers who had been stuck in their cars for as long as seven hours.
