Comment on In-N-Out and Chick-fil-A poised for drive-thru duel on the streets of Lone Tree 

In-N-Out and Chick-fil-A poised for drive-thru duel on the streets of Lone Tree 

The line stretched for blocks — manned by cops in reflective vests and corralled by orange cones — each vehicle carrying hungry customers hoping to sample a Double-Double with Animal Fries from In-N-Out’s newest Colorado location, which opened Monday. Across the street, a steady stream of motorists encircled a Chick-fil-A, in a double-lane drive-thru to snag the Georgia-based restaurant’s fried chicken sandwiches and waffle potato fries. “We like both,” said Joe Gonzales of Littleton, who with his wife waited 20 minutes this week to get cheeseburgers and fries from the In-N-Out drive-thru while the Chick-fil-A also did a brisk business. Thus the stage is set in Denver’s south suburbs for a battle royale between two favorites of the fast-food fanatics, each of which regularly deploys a team of workers to take orders and process payment right from customers’ car windows. But it could also spell traffic management problems for this fast-growing city,  and the age-old problem of businesses who fear their customers will be elbowed out by hordes of chicken and burger devotees.
