Heard from a friend who works at a Chick-fil-A in Illinois. They took in $35,000 in sales on the historic day, when they were averaging $1,100 per day before that. Customers helped unload the supply truck when they ran out of food.
Mr. Cathy couldn’t have come up with a better marketing plan if he’d brainstormed with every business professor and guru in the country. Plus, how many millions who’ve NEVER been to a Chick-fil-A until 8-1-12 will stay away now that they’ve tasted the food, seen the cleanliness and experienced the top-notch service? He ought to send GLAAD a fruit basket.
They were moderately busy Saturday afternoon in Broomfield, CO on Saturday. First time I went there, but the employees were 1000% more polite than most places. Had a woman cleaning the glass on the doors hold open the door for my wife and I and she said “God bless” when we went in. The employees inside could not have been more nice to us. It seemed to be a well-run place instead of the usual dissapointments.
