John Carucci, a longtime guest of a North Canton-area Chick-fil-A , has hit a major milestone with his 1,000th consecutive visit to the restaurant.

Carucci started his streak stopping at the Chick-fil-A on Dressler Road NW in Jackson Township on a daily basis (minus Sundays, of course) in December 2020 after his wife died. He quickly found community at the restaurant, where he takes a seat at his usual spot on most days.

In celebration of the latest milestone, Carucci was treated to a trip to Houston by the current owner-operator, George Rosche, and its former operator, Doug Pugh, according to a news release.

The trip included the opportunity to eat at one of the city’s most bustling Chick-fil-A restaurants, a special backstage tour and some fun Chick-fil-A swag.

Carucci also received a video that included a special shoutout from Chick-fil-A CEO Andrew Cathy.

His go-to order remains a chicken sandwich on a multi-grain bun – no pickles – and an unsweetened tea. On Fridays, he adds an order of fries as a special treat.
