Now, five decades later, the closely held company this year is poised to become the third-biggest U.S. restaurant chain by sales behind McDonald’s Corp. and Starbucks Corp. , according to food-service consultancy Technomic Inc. The growth reflects Chick-fil-A’s expansion over the past decade, as well as consumers’ broader turn toward chicken.

Sales from Chick-fil-A’s restaurants have tripled over the past decade, reaching $10.2 billion last year, Technomic said, even though the chain is closed on Sundays, a practice implemented by its conservative Christian founder.

Chick-fil-A, also known for its customer service, has nearly doubled its store count to about 2,400 restaurants since 2007. The company now has locations from Manhattan to Hollywood.



The protests though

So, having a presentable, courteous staff and a clean restaurant will make your sales increase?

I like Chick-fil-A, but I wish they had better coffee. McDonald's coffee is so much better.

Not bad at all considering they are only open 6 days a week. Wonder what the sales numbers would be if Sunday were factored in

Chick fil a could donate a billion dollars to literally anyone and I’d still hit it up a couple times a month

This is what makes them great.

Admittedly, their food quality is a few notches above other fast food, but the reason I (and many other people go there) is because you know what you are getting before you go.

Same reason I like Canes.

CFA does not believe in saving the earth with all those Suburbans in the drive through line every day.

What is sometimes overlooked, is the fact that because their staff is very quick and efficient, they are able to serve more customers per day compare to their competitors; increasing revenue.

Saw a tweet from a black guy the other day that said, "Chick-Fil-A could have a sign on the door saying 'NO N*****S ALLOWED' and I'd still be like 'aight lemme hit that drive through'"
