Chick-Fil-A Pre Grand Opening Video News

We were hoping to get this up sooner than this and apologize for the delay. Here is an inside look of what the pre grand opening day was like at our new local Chick-Fil-A.

Chick-Fil-A Grand Opening With Congressman Rob Wittman In Attendence

Chick-Fil-A of Gloucester Pre Grand Opening Ceremonies

With over 150 people now firmly planted in tents throughout the parking lot of the brand new Chick-Fil-A here in Gloucester County, these brave souls started out early this morning at 6:00 AM with challenges of extreme cold, winds and ice to become one of the lucky first 100 people to win the Chick-Fil-A food for a year prizes. The first 100 event such as what is being held here is part of the chain's opening traditions that started over 7 years ago and continues to be a staple way of opening new chain stores across the nation.

This new restaurant is part of Chick-Fil-A's growth of 75 new locations for 2011. Chick-Fil-A has been in business for over 43 years and was started in Atlanta, GA at the Greenbriar Mall in 1967 by Truett Cathy. With 1530 locations in 39 states and Washington, DC the company has experienced growth each and every year.

Tomorrow morning starting at 9:00 AM, there will be a ribbon cutting ceremony where Congressman Rob Wittman will speak and the county board of supervisors along with the ROTC band of Gloucester High School and the Gloucester High School Band will all be there to participate in this grand opening. We shot a live interview with John Gordon III and will have that up on the site soon. We also plan on attending the event first thing in the morning. We wish John and his staff the best with this new venture and until the cows come home, here's to the new Chick-Fil-A now in Gloucester.

The Salvation Army, "Doing The Most Harm", Part 5

Just some updates on this ongoing story. We have contacted the Salvation Army Corporate Headquarters numerous times. Not once have they chosen to respond to any of our questions. Nor do they seem to care when one of their outposts does harm to a family. We also contacted CBN, The Christian Broadcasting Network whom checked on this story but also chose not to respond. Governor Robert F McDonnell, and Senator Mark Warner have not chimed in nor has the Associated Press. Maybe dealing with negative stories about major charities around the holidays is bad for business? If a person or a corporate entity caused this type of harm to a family, they would be subject to a lawsuit. But because it's a charity, they can do whatever they want? This is pretty much like running over a person, finding out the person that you ran over was homeless and since that was the case, you get a get out of jail free card. We have a lot more to go with this story and it will not be going away. We will keep on top of all of this until someone is held accountable for their actions.

The Salvation Army, "Doing The Most Harm", Part 4

Breaking News. We just leaned from an internal source that the local Salvation Army has inside employee theft issues. So let's see, there is something fishy about the way the homless family we have been reporting on has been treated and now we learn this. Isn't that just amazing. Could it just be a coincidence? Well when we looked at all the evidence coming from the homless family, there were just way to many coincidences there to believe that they could all be just coindidental. When you make reports like this folks, you had better make sure you can back them up with evidence or you are open to a lawsuit. We are not open to one. We have secured the information and are not in the least worried about it.

Congressman Wittman's Office Responds, Salvation Army, Doing The Most Harm"
