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.

Here is the article rebel mentioned.
Don’t eat the bun. Worth the sin.
Yeah, but if the chicken is breaded it won’t work for me. Popeyes’s sucks anyways.
“Future partners could include faith-based and non-faith-based charities, but the company said none of the organizations have anti-LGBT positions.”
This is the first story I’ve read where it states what the company said. So I guess they did specifically come out for LGBT. How sad. They sold their souls for money.
Just go look at CFA facebook page. They’re all in to Democrat leaning “urban” charities now. That they defacto attacked mainline Christian organizations like SA and FCA is outrageous. It’s obvious they’ve been consulted to death.
I wish people would quit thinking the Salvation Army is all that. They cater to the LGTBQ crowd also. https://www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/the-lgbtq-community-and-the-salvation-army/
I no longer donate to them or Goodwill. We have several local organizations that have thrift shops and I would rather deal with them.

Correct. Which makes the CFA virtue signalling over SA donations all the more ridiculous. Undoubtedly, SA is the largest provider of “emergency” services in country to the LGBTQXYZ crowd. However, they are currently being targeted by the same homo fascists trying to bully CFA. For a multi billion dollar company like CFA caving just further isolate all Christian charities and it is outrageous.
