Chick-fil-A
How do I buy my own Chick-fil-A Franchise?
Chick-fil-A is one of the biggest brands in the quick-serve restaurant franchise industry. To buy a Chick-fil-A and become an "operator" (franchise owner), requires and initial investment of $10,000. Chick-fil-A looks for long term, hands-on operators that are not active in other business ventures, and are focused on growing one unit. Potential restaurant operators need to prove a track record of successful personal finance management.
Chick-fil-A is the largest quick-service chicken restaurant chain in the United States but it is also conscious about the environment and the community members in it. This is a franchise deep-rooted with values but which also stays ahead of the curve when it comes to innovation with its menu and meeting the face-paced lives of its customers.
If you want to operate a business which is known for serving original-recipe, hand-breaded chicken sandwiches and also invest in a business committed to the people in the community, read on.
About
Chick-fil-A has more than 2,000 restaurants in 46 states. As a franchise operator, you'll be supported by a strong brand, family-owned, privately-held company which is expanding and looking for team members to carry on the founder, S. Truett Cathy's philosophy of serving the highest quality food and giving back to the community.
Reasons to Open a Chick-fil-A:
A Recognized Brand - Included in Glassdoor’s Top 100 Best Places to Work in 2018
Ranked 4th on The Harris Poll Reputation Quotient (RQ®) list of 100 most visible companies in 2018
Received the Consumer Choice Awards® top spot in the category, “Provides Value Through Service.”
Hand-Crafted - the Chick-fil-A sandwich recipe was created in 1964 and underwent four years of testing before it was perfected. Today, each chicken filet is prepared by hand.
Environmentally Friendly - From recycling plastic bottles into employee uniforms to repurposing foam cups into plastic pens, name badges and picture frames Chick-fil-A found a purpose for land-fill-bound items.
Menu Options for Everyone - healthy food options for children, organic and gluten-free options, going to use 100% cage-free eggs by 2026, removing high0-fructose corn syrup and artificial dyes from dressings and sauces, reducing sodium in 25 menu items
Commitment to Fresh Food - the food in Chick-fil-A kitchens is hand-made and fresh. Chicken with no added fillers or hormones is served and produce is delivered fresh several times a week.
