What sets apart Chick-fil-A from other fast-food chains is its focus on real, fresh white chicken meat. Below are the latest Chick-fil-A prices. If you want to order catering from Chick-fil-A to serve at your next party, the delivery fees might differ from those on this menu, but we will cover this in a future article.

Chick-fil-A details

Most people associate Chick-fil-A with southern chicken. This fast-food chain was founded in 1946 and its focus is premium quality chicken and white meat. The premium meat quality also means slightly higher prices than what you would expect from a fast-food restaurant. You can go to any of the 1,600+ Chick-fil-A restaurants all around the US and you will find the same great-quality food. They plan to expand in areas like Southern California and the Midwest, as stated on the official Chick-fil-A website.

Chick-fil-A loves lemons

Chick-fil-A is the largest buyer of lemons of the Sunkist. An article pointed out that in 2014, the fast-food chain used over 250 million lemons, which were turned into more than 121 million cups of lemonade. Chick-fil-A is not only the biggest buyer of lemons in the world, but they buy more lemons than the whole country of Japan, year after year.

Waffle potato fries are the most popular item on their menu

Even though they have the word chicken in their name, their chicken sandwich isn’t the most sold product on their menu. Not even the nuggets, that everyone heard of. Instead, the most popular products from the Chick-fil-A menu are the crispy waffle fries.

These fries popped on the menu in 1985 and were immediately a big hit. They are eaten usually with the Chick-fil-A special sauce and are very praised all around social media.

Pickle purveyor

Chick-fil-A restaurants are responsible for making their pickles. They are required to cut the cucumbers and soak them, a process that usually takes around three days.

Chick-fil-A is the most successful fast-food chain

Although other fast-food chains invest a lot more in marketing and there are brands you probably associate fast food faster with, Chick-fil-A restaurants are in the first place in terms of money generated per restaurant. In 2017, the brand registered more sales of more than $4.4 million (≈141 years of non-stop labor earning $15/hour) per location. The second place is taken by the Whataburger brand with only $2.7 million (≈86.5 years of your working lifetime at a $15/hour job) per location. Experts say that keeping the company private is one of the reasons for its success because private owners can have a stronger hold on who runs the stores. The franchise fee itself is a very small one of just about $10,000 (≈3.8 months working without a break on a $15/hour salary), you can only own one store under this brand at a time and you are expected to put a lot of work into making it work as well as possible.
