Chick-fil-A is preparing for a “parking lot party” in Lake Ridge tonight.
The company’s newest location at Prince William Parkway and Old Bridge Road will open on Wednesday, December 16. That means a small crowd is expected to gather in the Chick-fil-A parking lot to line up to the first to enter the restaurant and to win a one-year supply of Chick-fil-A Food.
The fast-food restaurant is a popular destination for the region.
This newest store is the sixth in Prince William County. There’s also one in Manassas.
The Woodbridge Chick-fil-A off Interstate 95 near Potomac Mills mall was once the highest grossing Chick-fil-A in the company. Luis Hevia, the owner-operator of the Woodbridge location will also operate the new restaurant in Lake Ridge.
“With dozens of folks expected to line up at the restaurant 24 hours before the grand opening, the parking lot party often includes tents, flat screen TV’s recliners and more,” said Chick-fil-A spokeswoman Tiffany Simmons in a press release.

The new restaurant is expected to create 80 new jobs. This is the third Chick-fil-A to open in the Washington, D.C area in six weeks.
Hevia will collect children’s books at his restaurant’s grand opening, and then he plans to give the books to Prince William County Public Schools.
“The books collected during the grand opening celebration will be placed in a nearly three-foot Book House and donated to the Prince William School System. The Book House serves as a free library exchange – allowing anyone to take a book after replacing it with one of their own. Created from old and thrown out wood, the Book House is one of several community programs made possible through the support of the Chick-fil-A Foundation,” said Simmons.
The interior of the new restaurant will look different than its predecessors in the area, and will feature a newly designed kitchen, and a dining room that includes subway tiles and metals in different colors. The restaurant will also offer a drive-through lane and free wi-fi access.
Of course, like all other Chick-fil-A restaurants, this one is also closed on Sundays. It will be open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
