Good News and Bad News for Tampa Bay Chick-fil-A Fans

This darn virus keeps messing things up. Florida bars are closed. Concerts have been cancelled. We’ll have sports to watch again soon, but you’ll only be able to watch on TV. And now this. Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-A is postponed, according to CNN. Yes, that magical day when you get to throw any ounce of dignity aside to score some free food… it’s not happening this week. It would have been this coming Tuesday (July 14) but keep that cow costume in the closet because they say it will be rescheduled.

In some happier news, the Herald Tribune reports that Sarasota has a new Chick-fil-A. The location at University Town Center is the 4th one to open in the city. That’ll make some happy since the one at The Sarasota Square Mall is closed. So now you’ll have a new spot to get one of those peach milkshakes. (Oh yeah, they’re back!)
