Chick-fil-A, an American fast-food chain open for business a meagre six days a week, has retained the crown for most revenue per restaurant in the US, according to the latest report released by QSR magazine.
Chick-fil-A raked in revenues of over $4.4 million, more than doubling trendy competitors In-N-Out Burger, Chipotle, and Steak N Shake.
It’s next closest competitor is Whataburger, which generated $2.7 million per restaurant, a mere 61 percent of Chick-fil-A’s top line.
Chick-fil-A decimated the chicken industry, toppling over direct competitors Zaxby’s ($2.3 million), El Pollo Loco ($1.9 million), Bojangles’ ($1.8 million), Popeyes ($1.4 million), Boston Market ($1.4 million), Wingstop ($1.1 million), and the late great KFC ($1.0 million).
The secrets to Chick-fil-A’s ever growing success are threefold: superior drive-thru services, robust investment in employee training programs, and cult-like customer loyalty.

And they are closed on Sundays.
But....but,.......aren’t we supposed to avoid chick Fil A because their founder has the audacity to think marriage is a man and a woman??
Remember that idiot named Adam Smith who berated the girl at Chick Fil A, told her it was a terrible company with terrible values and how could she in good conscience work there?? The liberal view is that this company should not have the right to exist.
Against this backdrop they are doing far better than others.
Seems as if most people just aren’t listening to the liberals on this one.
The franchise fee to join Chick-fil-A is a very accessible $5,000. Chick-fil-A corporation will pay for land, construction and equipment for a restaurant, then rent it to the franchisee for 15% of sales plus 50% of pretax profit remaining.
Holly crap Batman. Sounds like a biz to get into.
Those dang homophobes and their hate filled customers.
First one just opened in Reno a while back. Been purty durn busy so far.
Been eating chick fil a my whole life. Mr Truett lived about 10 minutes from my parents house. Wonderful family and food
THere prices are not cheap....
Food and service are great
Popeye’s waffle battered chicken tenders with maple syrup are to die for
Only once a year...more for your money
And I know that my CFA is doing quite well since opening in February.
There’s a reason we have a ‘cult-like’ following: good food, served in a clean, well-kept restaurant, by friendly, clean-cut, English-speaking people. What is it that other chains don’t understand about that formula?
Steak n shake??? The food there is horrific...
Two in Brookfield, WI where I live. First one was 11 miles away. New one 1 mile away. Yum.
Remarkable they are doing $4.4M and closed on Sundays, huh?
We pulled into the CFA in Twin Falls a couple weeks ago and thought service was mighty slow. Then we noticed there weren’t a lot of cars in the parking lot. Then we noticed the lights were off. Finally we had the “Aha” moment.
How is Adam Smith doing these days? Has he completely destroyed his livelihood, family, wealth, and future? Has he rebounded his life? I’m not laughing about it, but he sure took a fall at his own hand.
Maybe off topic, but the left failed spectacularly in their campaign to drive Chick Fil A out of business over homosexual marriage.
They really stepped in it on this one. Chick Fil A is doing better than ever in spite of the liberal boycott.
I assume that good liberals will never deign to set foot in a Chick Fil A so as to support their homosexual brethren???
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Chick-fil-A close.
I was high school summer help at a mall construction site...maybe 49-50 years ago? Chick-fil-A was practically the first store to open. Seriously, it was still a major construction site! Mostly construction workers flocking in. Decades later, it moved from its original space to the newly created mall food court maybe 100 feet down the mall.
It’s still there.
Ate once at Popeyes in DC. NEVER AGAIN, EVER! This is not food, it is _______....fill in the blank.
Praise The Lord.
I wouldn't say that.
The CFA in Bellevue, WA is doing extremely well, and it's located smack-dab in the middle of liberal-infested Bellevue....right next to Seattle and chock-full of LGBTXYZPDQ people.
Boston Market had the best food...The creamed spinach....to die for....I make my own now.
Just ate a Chik-fil-a sandwitch with a chicken soup and lemonaide...good stuff.
