According to restaurant consultancy firm Technomic, which shared its findings with Buzzfeed News, Chick-fil-A is poised to become the third-largest fast-food chain in the nation by 2020 in terms of sales, trailing behind only McDonald’s and Starbucks.
The chicken chain was ranked eighth in a 2017 report from QSR magazine, behind McDonald’s, Starbucks, Subway, Wendy’s, Burger King, Taco Bell and Dunkin’ Donuts.
“The trajectory we’re on would support that,” a Chick-fil-A spokesman told Buzzfeed News in response to Technomic’s findings.

Should Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts really be counted as “fast food restaurants” though?
No IN N’ Out? Interesting. In my neck of the woods, I have BOTH Chick Fil A AND In N Out within 2 blocks lol
CFA is #1 in per store sales at $4.4 million per store. McD’s is a lowly $2.4 million per store.
I believe In N’ Out is still regional.
Dunkin does have sandwiches & wraps soooo....
Our Chic-Fil-A is always crowded, and the drive-thru around the building...................
In and out isn’t all over the country, it’s only in California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Texas, and Oregon.
Never heard of them..............
Rare to see one that isn’t a solid money maker
We have two in Nashville metro that gross 7-8 million a year in sales.....incredible
But the owners are completely married to the day to day
The Corp parent requires it
And it shows
Like any fast food franchise you can tell when it’s manzged right
McDonalds
Where I live one is mostly black teens running it
The other is some Latinos and an adult on site always
Which one runs well you reckon
LOL, I expected with “Demolition Man” that it would be Taco Bell!
Do the liberals still boycott Chick Fil A over the marriage issue??
I recall how rahm Emmanuel said Chick Fil A didn’t represent Chicago values.
But he declined to state what exactly Chicago values are, or how Chick Fil A didn’t reflect said values.
Nor did he say what he found objectionable about Chick Fil A.
I heard Chick Fil A in New York is doing well, though deBlasio said we should boycott them.
Their market salad is expensive, but very, very good.
I wonder if the stats are different by region.
My little granddaughter is a chicken addict and always chooses Chick-fil-A over McDonald’s. If it’s Sunday, she’s okay with Zaxby’s.
And Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays
giving it’s employees the Sabbath off.
They're just too busy. Nobody goes there anymore.
People are clamoring for them upstate. Just learned that one is going into Albany Airport Terminal.
Being overtly Christian in an anti-God world, plus serving genuinely good food at a reasonable price seems to be an unbeatable combination.
There’s no In-and-Out here in the East. The only reason I have even heard of the chain is because they keep getting on Internet lists of popular restaurants.
