Late-night hunger just got a serious upgrade. At the heart of an Atlanta-area hospital, Chick-fil-A has quietly rolled out its first 24-hour vending machine — an unexpected twist on “fast food” that invites early-morning staff, weary visitors, and anyone craving “Eat Mor Chikin” at odd hours to press a button rather than wait in line.

If the trial proves successful, Chick-fil-A could roll out these automated fridges to more locations across the state and eventually throughout the U.S.
