A long line of vehicles greeted the grand opening at 6:30 a.m.
Customers started getting in line late Wednesday night and by 6:15 a.m. Thursday, there were about 60 vehicles waiting to be among the first customers to order.
The line of vehicles had grown to at least 75 vehicles by 7 a.m.
Mall personnel and Chick-fil-A employees were helping with traffic control and Redding police would drive by periodically throughout the day to assess the situation.
The first two customers in line were Zach Wagner, 17, of Redding, and Tommy Zanini, 17, of Italy, a foreign exchange student at Enterprise High School. Wagner also goes to Enterprise. They were in a silver Toyota pickup.
