A new stand-alone Chick-fil-A restaurant is expected to open in Northwest Houston June 6, bringing with it more than 75 new jobs and the increasingly popular "First 100" event—a 10-year-old program offering free food for a year to the first 100 adults in line.

Glen Thigpen—the owner of the new location—said he is excited to move back to his hometown of Houston and serve area residents.

"Our focus on freshly prepared food and personal customer service is as central to our new restaurant as it was the day Truett [Cathy] opened his first Chick-fil-A location," Thigpen said. "That commitment continues for me and my team members at our new Beltway 8 and West Road location, where we can't wait to serve our guests."

Beginning June 5, customers are expected to line up overnight at 9440 Beltway 8 in hopes of being one of the first 100 guests at the new location. Since its inception, the First 100 event has provided more than $18 million in free food at nearly 700 grand openings throughout the country. With 102 grand openings scheduled in the U.S., Chick-fil-A has plans to open an unprecedented number of new locations in 2013.

The new restaurant will seat up to 97 customers with outside seating and a kid's play area available. New menu items such as the grilled market salads and the grilled chicken Cool Wrap—made available in late April—will be offered.
