Special Chick-fil-A Menu Items Are Coming To Vending Machines

The Georgia-based fast food chain is back in the headlines after making more innovations to its company.

As of now, Chick-fil-A is launching its first-ever fast food vending machine as part of a test. According to the Chick-fil-A spokesperson.

The Chic-fla-vending machine is a temperature-controlled fridge that’s only available at a Children’s Hospital in Augusta, GA, located at the F entrance of CMG Hospital. The vending machine itself will operate 24 hours a day, unlike its store counterpart, but much like its counterpart, it will be open only six days a week.

“A vending machine being closed on Sunday is pretty crazy,” said one comment.

The Chick-fil-A vending machine will operate like a standard one. This limited-edition vending machine also features a touchscreen interface that accepts credit cards, debit cards, and other digital payment methods, including Apple Pay and Google Pay. According to a video from 11Alive, the vending machine gets restocked every 18 hours.

What’s on the menu? So far, only four items are available in the machine, and none include the chicken sandwich. These items include the Southwest Veggie Wrap with Creamy Salsa and the Cool Wrap with Avocado Lime Ranch. The machine will also have waffle potato chips alongside the Chick-fil-A sauce flavor. Should the vending machine prove successful in the near future, it would likely expand to more states, such as Colorado and others.

“The aim is to provide another way to meet customers where they are, such as late at night when other food options may not be available,” said Chick-fil-A.

“I low-key wish there were more of these,” said a person from Reddit.

Another Reddit user commented how convenient the machine was.

“It’s definitely really cool. It’s located at the children’s hospital side of the facility, so families who can only run down for a minute or are there late after the CFA closes can grab something,” they said.

Despite an overwhelming push of support for the machine, there’s a vocal minority that isn’t as impressed.

“No wonder there’s a health crisis in America,” one person commented.

The MCG Health Medical Center, the hospital where the vending will be placed, has also spoken out regarding the machine.

“The only Chick-fil-A vending machine in the country is in our hospital. Sells wraps and chips. Restocked every 18 hours. How’s that for resident wellness?” the hospital’s Urology Residency Program said.
