El Paso's newest Chick-fil-A restaurant officially opened its doors Thursday to an eager crowd that lined up to place their food orders at 1300 Airway Blvd.

Children and adults got high-fives from the Chick-fil-A mascot, who made the rounds greeting patrons at the new eatery. Small cow mascots were handed out to children inside while a long line of drive-thru vehicles snaked around the parking lot.

Courtney Cion, of Jacksonville, Fla., served food to waiting customers in the dining room. She was one of a group of out-of-town employees who came in to help launch the new restaurant.

Dianne Saucedo and Denise Delgado, who work in the area, waited patiently in the long walk-up line. “We’ve been waiting for it,” Saucedo said of the restaurant’s opening.
