This week, two small Indiana colleges will be buzzing. The schools are Butler and Indiana Wesleyan University, and both have great reasons to be excited. For the Butler Bulldogs, their excitement comes from a trip to the Final Four in the NCAA Tournament. For the IWU Wildcats, students have a much bigger reason to be excited.
We're getting a Chick-Fil-A.
According to IWU's school newspaper, The Sojourn, and its Twitter, the school will open the restaurant as soon as the fall semester of 2011. It will be located inside of the existing student center, in an existing food venue. Students will be able to use a meal swipe for the famous chicken dinner. This announcement will come as the university is set to induct Chick-Fil-A owner S. Truett Cathy into its society of "World Changers" on Wednesday.
I may only be a freshman, but from what I hear, rumors have been going around for a few years now that we would be shouting "Eat Mor Chikin" from rooftops all over campus. I also heard that IWU and the chain had been in talks before, but there were a couple sticking points that prevented a deal form getting done. I don't know, that's just speculation, I'll be reading The Sojourn for the real facts about the issue.
But for now, I'm just going to celebrate the coming attraction that is one of the best fast food restaurants I've ever eaten at. And now I'll have the chance to eat there daily. You can bet that there will be dancing in the streets here at IWU (we can do that now), because after years of just talking and dreaming about it, this is arguably one of the coolest things to hit this campus in a while.
Take that, Butler ;)
Abraham Lincoln did not really end the civil war, Chic-Fil-A did. Somethings really are universal :)
