Chick-fil-a Opens Murrells Inlet Store

Chick-fil-A will open its 10th Horry County location Thursday at Woodside Village, 4400 U.S. 17, Murrells Inlet.

The nearly 5,000-square-foot restaurant is the largest of Chick-fil-A's restaurant models and one of eight that size in the chain. It will employ about 60 people.

Chick-fil-A will hold its traditional grand opening camp-out at the restaurant Wednesday night. Overnight camping has become standard at grand openings since the company began offering free meals for a year to the first 100 people in line when a new restaurant opens.

The Murrells Inlet location officially opens at 6:30 a.m. Thursday.

Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A has 1,242 restaurants nationwide.

Businesses receive the family-friendly designation based on surveys filled out by their employees.

The businesses added are Atlanta Bread Co., Colonial Mall-Myrtle Beach, Costco Wholesale, Cooper Mechanical Services, Century 21 Broadhurst & Associates, Georgetown County Water & Sewer District and United Way of Horry County.
