Chick-fil-A employees fulfill Texas couple's all-American dream: 'Bucket list'

A couple with the dream of visiting every state capitol finally crossed the last state off thanks to a local Chick-fil-A. 

Bill and Becky Chilcutt spent the last two decades traveling to every state capitol in the country — and had one left on their list when Bill Chilcutt’s terminal cancer halted the planned trip.

The couple, who are frequent visitors of a Chick-fil-A location in Houston, Texas, were feeling defeated when the unthinkable happened.

Employees at the Chick-fil-A Market in Springwoods Village contacted the Alaska State Capitol — the last stop on the Chilcutts’ bucket list — to see if there was a way for the Chilcutts to visit the capitol without physically being there.

An employee photographed the Chilcutts’ wedding photo around the building in Juneau, Alaska — even signing their names on the visitors’ log. 

The couple was then presented with the gift while at their local fast food restaurant.

“From weekly morning bingo to celebrating family milestones at the restaurant, we’ve loved being a part of their lives and learning more about their adventures.”

He added, “When our team learned they had just one final state capital on their bucket list, we wanted to do everything we could to help them achieve their goal. We’re so glad we could bring a small piece of Alaska to Texas for them.”

The pair have attended the Chick-fil-A location’s morning bingo for years and even won free Chick-fil-A for a year in 2017.
