Man celebrates 800th consecutive visit to Chick-fil-A in North Canton's Belden Village

The restaurant celebrated John Carucci by changing its reader board in honor of him, as well as providing him with flowers, balloons, and a complimentary meal!

NORTH CANTON, Ohio — A Stark County man on Thursday celebrated his 800th consecutive visit to the same Chick-fil-A.

That's right: every single day for the past 800 days (excluding Sundays, of course!).

The restaurant honored John Carucci today by putting his name on the reader board, as well as giving him flowers, balloons, and of course, free food. John started visiting the Chick-fil-A after his wife passed away, and he found a community of friends at the location on Dressler Road in North Canton.

John has documented his journey on TikTok, and formed a close bond with former Belden Village Mall operator Doug Pugh. The two even took a trip to Chick-fil-A headquarters in Atlanta last July.

Of course, any discussion about Chick-fil-A leads to the ultimate debate: Pickle or no pickle on the chicken sandwich? For 3News' Jim Donovan, at least, the pickle seems to be the way to go! (watch the full conversation in the player above)
