Always had a perfect spot to open a Chic-Fil-A but apparently you get assigned a location you do not get to choose.
I really like their chicken or sausage breakfast burrito with jalapeno salsa.
If any fast food employees deserve to make $15/hour it's Chic-Fil-A employees. Service is always above and beyond and they never mess up your order.

</header>[h=2]Chick-fil-A is growing at such a rapid pace that it is expected to become the third largest fast food chain in the U.S., surpassing competitors like Subway.[/h]Business has been booming for Chick-fil-A, as sales for the chicken sandwich chain soaredby 15.5 percent in 2018 and traffic to its stores went up by 10 percent since 2017.
But the privately-held chicken sandwich franchise is making such a splash that it is catching up to publicly-traded competitors such as McDonalds and Wendy’s years ahead of schedule.
“We have long pointed out that Chick-fil-A is the restaurant competition with which McDonald’s U.S. should most concern itself – and by extension, investors should too,” according to a statement from Kalinowski Equity Research. “But this goes beyond McDonald’s.”
The chain’s projected sales for 2018 are expected to top $10 billion, even though the chicken sandwich joint is only open six days a week to keep company founder Truett Cathy’s wish to close the stores on Sundays to observe it as a holy day.
Although the chain has been rejected on some college campuses for its traditional Christian values, it is expected to expand in states like Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Ohio to compete with larger fast food chains.
The fast-food chain has also made the news this year for its good deeds, such as opening on a Sunday to feed first responders and stranded airport passengers.

Fast food competitors might chicken out to learn that Chick-fil-A was the third-largest restaurant chain by U.S sales last year, according to a new report.
Findings recently published by Technomic claimed that Americans truly "ate more chikin"' in 2019, with Chick-Fil-A's system sales jumping 13 percent to $11.3 billion, Restaurant Business Online reports.
The chick-centric chain flew close to second-ranked Starbucks, which generated $21.4 billion in U.S. sales and the first-place McDonalds, made a mind-boggling $40.4 billion last year.

MCDONALD'S REVEALS PLAN FOR REOPENING DINING ROOMS, PLAY PLACES WILL REMAIN CLOSED
Chick-Fil-A’s gains marked a $1.3 billion leap from 2018 – or, a whole lot of chicken sandwiches sold.
As the coronavirus crisis continues, Chick-fil-A is doubling down to protect crew and customers with new health and safety measures.
Though dining rooms have been closed since March 16, select restaurants will have Plexiglas shields installed at the front counters and drive-thru windows. Inside, new signage will demarcate safe social distancing and hand sanitizer will be provided in dining rooms, among other proactive measures for when in-restaurant dining ultimately opens once again.

Fast food competitors might chicken out to learn that Chick-fil-A was the third-largest restaurant chain by U.S sales last year, according to a new report.
The chick-centric chain flew close to second-ranked Starbucks, which generated $21.4 billion in U.S. sales and the first-place McDonalds, made a mind-boggling $40.4 billion last year.

MCDONALD'S REVEALS PLAN FOR REOPENING DINING ROOMS, PLAY PLACES WILL REMAIN CLOSED
Chick-Fil-A’s gains marked a $1.3 billion leap from 2018 – or, a whole lot of chicken sandwiches sold.
As the coronavirus crisis continues, Chick-fil-A is doubling down to protect crew and customers with new health and safety measures.
Though dining rooms have been closed since March 16, select restaurants will have Plexiglas shields installed at the front counters and drive-thru windows. Inside, new signage will demarcate safe social distancing and hand sanitizer will be provided in dining rooms, among other proactive measures for when in-restaurant dining ultimately opens once again.
