There is a lot that Chick-fil-A has done right. Earnings per store or AUV's (average unit volumes) are at the top of the QSR50 at 4.4 million. To put that into perspective the average unit volume of a Subway store is a paltry $422,000...
...3. You own nothing and build no equity. This one is huge. In a typical franchise arrangement after you have spent years working hard and building up a business when it's time to retire or move on you can typically sell that business or pass it on to your family. Successful franchises can be worth millions. In the case of Chick-fil-A however you own nothing and because you have no equity in the business you have nothing to sell. Ownership is always retained by corporate - not you. So are you really an owner? Its interesting that on Chick-fil-A's own website they they don't refer to franchisees as owners but as "operators" - and many states have tried to have Chick-fil-A re-classify operators as employees not franchise owners and therefore entitled to employee benefits.
...5. Low earnings. Now Chick-fil-A is quite secretive regarding their facts and figures so information is difficult to come by, but it appears that the general consensus is that owners receive between 5%-7% of the gross. So let's put that in perspective at 5% if your store does 1 million you would recieve $50,000, 2 million you receive $100,000, at 3 million $150,000 and at 4 million you would receive $200,000. So that would put the average store owner Chick-fil-A earnings at $200,000 per year at 5% and $240,000 per year at 6%. Now a quarter million a year is a pretty good salary, but from a franchise ownership perspective only receiving 6% of the gross is quite low.

A chick fil a franchise is practically a license to print money.
The advantage or NOT owning something is you don’t carry the responsibility. It also means that everyday Joe’s NOT just multimillionaires can run and profit from a chick fil A...
This is written in the commie style mixed with liberal ‘elites’... Pity party union think meets haughty white liberal elites.
No one’s forcing anyone run a Chick fil A ... or a Target for that matter - and you don’t get to own the Target Store if you manage it either.

Life isn’t fair... it’s an astounding return for a nominal investment if you’re accepted.
Wow. I would run for my life away from this Co. After reading the reasons not to buy in.. amazing.
Good to know!! I thought I was the ONLY person on earth that did not think their chicken sandwich was ‘all that’....lol
I hate to disagree but the perverts are ascending: they managed to convince the American Psychiatric Association that theirs isn’t a mental illness, then they got the Supreme Court to say, that sure, they can get “married’ and now they are forcing schools to adopt curricula to teach our young ones how “wonderful” their perversions are.
Now damn near every movie, tv program, and commercial features perverts going at it.
If you can’t how bad things are, how about people seriously considering a presidential candidate with a “husband” appropriately with butt in his/its name.
I think that if anything, I have understated the problem.
Seems like they steam cook it. Or maybe they grill it and then put the cooked patty into a humidor to keep it warm.
This might be masked by the bun.
I think you and I might be the only conservatives who say that. I like the store, but find their chicken quite salty. I’m low carb as well and find it challenging to find fast food which really fits what I’m looking for.
Both make low carb burgers that are very tasty!
Five Guys is pretty good but pricey.
Wendys is okay but make sure that they give you the condiments.
I like that you can put whatever chicken you want on the salads. I’m not worried about salt, thank goodness, because I love me some spicy grilled chicken. The regular grilled chicken and nuggets aren’t too bad salt-wise. I usually get two meals out of one salad, so only about half the salt per meal.

Even a marginal drop in business will be felt and noticed. This was an exceedingly stupid and immoral move. Who did they expect to placate?
Your statement defines ambiguous and convoluted. If ya *own* it how can the company you bought it from take it back? Either you own it, or you don't. It sounds to me like you're saying they're renting these fast food joints which have lots of strings attached.
Franchising something is a hell of a lot different than just owning YOUR OWN fast food place!!!
My point.
Do you have a link? I’m trying to find proof, since all I see is hearsay
Bisnow.com has an article from two days ago on the charitable giving issue, including quotes from Tim Tassapoulos, who was appointed COO in 2016 after working his way up the company. The article said the changes were approved in a board vote last week.
The grilled nuggets are a good low carb choice.
It they are not that good. Popeyes chicken sandwich is worth getting shit for. Delicious!
Popeyes chicken sandwich is not a low carb choice. Thanks anyways.
