Chick-fil-A launches family entertainment app with animated shows, podcasts, games

Chick-fil-A is entering the family entertainment space with a new app featuring animated shows, podcasts and games that it says is designed for parents and kids to “experience together the joy of eating at home, on the go, and anywhere in between.”

The Chick-fil-A Play app, which will launch on Nov. 18, will be loaded with “extensive content and original entertainment for all ages to enjoy,” according to the fast food chain.

“What we’ve seen over the years is that content and games tend to be around mealtimes – a natural time for families to watch and enjoy shows and games together – but family ‘mealtimes’ look very different now than before, and there’s less time to eat. connect and make memories as a family,” Dustin Britt, Chick-fil-A’s senior director of brand strategy, told Adweek.

“We hope this app provides them with more ways to make the most of their time together, no matter where they are,” he added.
