Your free sandwich deal from McAlister’s Deli is right in front of you. Except, you have to be one of the first 100 people in line for the grand opening in Athens, Tennessee. We’re here to give you three tips on how to be one of these lucky individuals who will win free club sandwiches for a year. The event takes place on March 30 at 10:30 AM, which means there’s no time to waste!
Tip #1: Bring a group – No one wants to go into war alone. This is exactly why you need a couple of friends to go with you in this endeavor. Everyone knows bathroom breaks are inevitable, but if you’ve got a friend to hold your place in line, all is well. This opens the door for a friend to be able to walk to McDonald’s to get the whole group fresh McGriddles for breakfast. This could possibly be a long night of waiting; therefore, having friends with you to keep the vibes up is mandatory.
Tip #2: Come supplied – This could be the worst night of your life if you don’t come prepared. A Walmart trip is a necessity to stay comfortable. Valuable materials such as a folding chair, sleeping bag, and heated blankets will come in handy. The current forecast is calling for temperatures as low as 44 degrees Fahrenheit. The more layers, the better for those looking to survive.
Tip #3: Remember what’s at stake – College students are balling on a budget. We can’t afford to miss free food for a year. Cafeteria fatigue is inevitable, and outside food is what we need. Remember how enjoyable a free sandwich for a year will taste while you’re waiting in line. We all know free food tastes better, especially from a new restaurant. Not to mention, the epic story this will give you for the rest of your life. Your grandchildren will love the nighttime fairytale of winning a free club sandwich at McAlister’s in the future. Do it for the glory.
The community is very excited for this opportunity. We had the honor of interviewing one customer on the matter.
“I’m excited about it [McAllister’s opening]. It’s a new place to eat in Athens, and the sandwiches are delicious, and it’s just something different,” said McAlister’s patron Jerry A. “The [Drip Kitchen and Coffee] kind of reminds me of McAllister’s, and I can’t wait till this [location] opens up. It’s a great location with the shopping center and all.”
Make sure to stay tuned for the grand opening of McAllister’s on March 30 at 10:30 AM. Start preparing now for the greatest opportunity of your life!
