TAMPA, Fla. — Attention Chick-fil-A fans! The fast-food chain is adding three new sweet treats to their menu starting September 14.

A new chocolate fudge brownie and specialty-grade coffee will join the menu all year, while a seasonal cold brew will only be available for a limited time.

The national chain says the brownie features a "rich semi-sweet chocolate melted into the batter along with tasty, fudgy chunks" and is sold individually wrapped. The treat can be purchased separately or by the tray.

While the seasonal Mocha Cream Cold Brew gives you a boost and satisfies your sweet tooth.

“We are always looking to add fun and flavorful offerings to our menu, and these new dessert and snack options make perfect additions as we enter the fall season,” said Leslie Neslage, director of menu and packaging at Chick-fil-A. “We received positive responses when we tested the Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Mocha Cream Cold Brew in select markets last year, and we hope our customers will be as excited as we are to have these sweet treats join our menu nationwide.”

The new THRIVE Farmers coffee joining the menu features a blend of beans grown in Central and South America.

A Chick-fil-A manager saved a drive-thru COVID-19 vaccination clinic after traffic backed up

Updated: 6:23 AM EST Feb 1, 2021

When a South Carolina drive-thru coronavirus vaccine clinic got backed up, leaving people waiting for hours, the town mayor decided to call in a professional for help: a Chick-fil-A manager.Local hospitals in Mount Pleasant opened the clinic on Jan. 22 for residents eligible to receive the first shots of the COVID-19 vaccine. But shortly after the drive-thru opened, the computer system handling registrations went down, causing hundreds of people to wait in heavy traffic.That's when Jerry Walkowiak, the manager of a nearby Chick-fil-A, stepped in to save the day."When I heard about it, I called Jerry and asked if he would come help us out," Mount Pleasant Mayor Will Haynie told CNN. "After he looked it over, he said, 'There's your problem right there. It's backed up because you have one person checking people in.' Then he showed us how to do it right."With the help of a few additional volunteers, Walkowiak transformed the messy traffic jam into a smooth operation, reducing the hours-long wait to just 15 minutes.More than 1,000 people received the vaccine that day, Haynie said. When everyone returns for their second dose on Feb. 12, Walkowiak will be back to help manage the drive-thru."At Chick-fil-A, we're about being the most caring company in the world, and when Mayor Haynie asked us to come over, we took a look at what was their drive-thru system," Walkowiak told news station WCBD."We saw a little hiccup in their drive-thru system, and we needed some more people, so we gathered some of the wonderful Rotary volunteers and went down there and just was able to expedite the registration part."More than 31 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in the United States, according to data by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Related video: Vaccinations don't mean end to COVID-19 guidelines, experts sayWhile the U.S. still has a long way to go before the pandemic is over, Haynie hopes his town's experience will encourage others to get vaccinated and help with vaccine efforts."Jerry got a phone call and dropped everything because he knows getting this vaccine out is a game changer," Haynie said. "This is what the light at the end of the long Covid tunnel looks like."

The supply chain shortage just got fowl: Chick-fil-A is limiting the number of sauces it's giving out to customers because of limited stock.The chicken chain said Wednesday that industry-wide supply chain issues, which are affecting essentially every aspect of the economy, has resulted in a "shortage of select items" that Chick-fil-A serves, including sauces.In response, Chick-fil-A is only giving customers one dipping sauce cup per item ordered at many of its 2,600 U.S. restaurants."We are actively working to make adjustments to solve this issue quickly and apologize to our guests for any inconvenience," the company said in a statement.The chain said it's working to fix the sauce supply problems as quickly as possible.Fast food restaurants have been hit especially hard in recent months with both a labor shortage and supply chain issues. For example, ketchup packets have come in short supply amid heightened demand. Heinz recently announced a 25% increase in production.The fried chicken wars are putting a strain on the poultry population. Major chains, including KFC, Buffalo Wild Wings and Wingstop, are "paying steep prices" for chicken and suppliers are having trouble keeping up demand because of difficulties attracting workers.Luckily for Chick-fil-A, the company says it hasn't been affected by the chicken shortage.
