Florida Chick-fil-A celebrates longtime customer's 104th birthday: 'Immensely grateful'

A Florida Chick-fil-A celebrated the 104th birthday of a longtime regular customer on Nov. 8. The restaurant said it has celebrated Mr. Steve's birthday each year for the past six.

For the sixth year in a row, a Florida Chick-fil-A celebrated the birthday of a longtime customer who has been coming to the restaurant on a regular basis for over 20 years!

The CFA location in Oldsmar, Fla., hosted a 104th birthday party for beloved customer Mr. Steve on Nov. 8.

In a Facebook post, the restaurant said Mr. Steve visited every morning for over two decades until 2018. He sat in the same booth, ordered the same breakfast and read the morning paper during his daily visits. Now, he visits on a regular basis.

"His visit was a daily highlight and our team would carve out a good five to 10 minutes each day to sit and talk with him," the post said.

He is described as one of the "sweetest, most genuine, kind, and humble people we have had the pleasure to know" by the restaurant employees, many of whom have developed a special relationship with him over the years.

"He always gave the best advice about life, about what's really important, and expressed a genuine interest in the happenings of our lives," the post said.

The restaurant shared pictures from each celebration since Mr. Steve's 99th birthday.

When he turned 100, the location said it went "big" by dedicating a booth to Mr. Steve and gifting him free CFA for life. The celebration resulted in national news attention and the opportunity for Mr. Steve to film a Chick-fil-A commercial in New York City.

In 2020 for Mr. Steve's 102nd birthday, CFA team members showed up to his home and celebrated him with a socially distanced party in the driveway. 

In 2021, the restaurant opened its dining room just for Mr. Steve in order to celebrate his 103rd birthday.

The restaurant said even though the parties had to shift a bit during the pandemic, the "heart of the celebration has remained the same," which is to honor a man who has impacted the Oldsmar team, and captured the attention of the company and the country.

"As we celebrated 104, we couldn't help but feel immensely grateful for the opportunity to return even a portion of the love that he shares with our team, and for the bond that we have been able to build over the past six years of birthdays," the restaurant wrote on Facebook.
