I ate at Chick Fil A yesterday for the first time. Looks like a great business. What are the odds of franchising?

17%.

Processed chicken with a side of intolerance.

Sounds great.

I'm sure they are clearing three to four times the traffic of their fast food competitors. I heard the franchise fees are low too. Is this a good business to get into? I'm tired of my current job, but not afraid to work hard. They're expanding in my area.

What I wonder is how come they are able to train their employees so much better than other fast food places. Invariably, the employees are upbeat and extremely polite.

They only hire Christians. As a group, they are very happy people.

A friend's son worked at Chik Fil A as a teen and into college for a year. Openly gay. Said he never experienced in sort of discrimination or intolerance (except from some customers).

They are a big sponsor of many local 5K and 10K races in the Chicago western suburbs, typically for run organized by church, school or charity. They bring out the cow mascot and tent with free sandwiches. I am ok with the chicken, but I toss the bread. (LCHFMP)

Right answer.

What's with them Waffle Houses? Never been to one- the closest is 479.1 miles away on Jeff Davis Hwy, in Fredericksburg, VA.

I've heard they're real popular.

No Chick Fillers near here neither.

The left pretend to be tolerant, all while being grossly intolerant of people who look, vote and act differently than they do. I call that hypocrisy.

On to the question​ at hand-- Chick-fil-A has some pretty strict franchisee requirements. It's highly unlikely that you meet any of them if you're asking about it here.

Why's that? Because people posting here are not successful?

And is it really such a good deal? Can you sell the franchise and cash out? Can you hand it down to your heirs? Or are you buying a well paying job?

There's this new thing called Google where you can find information all by yourself. Check it out sometime.

Yes. That is correct.

You're a sensitive liberal. Move to Canada.

Ha ha ha, So original!

It's the google is your friend poster. Gee, never heard this one before.

Why not post this on every other thread on here. You'll be a bigger hit than Locksley!

Why have LetsRun? We can just google everything, am I right!?

That's Great! Thanks for posting!

Chick Fil A's crime? Their owner donated some of his own money to support legally changing the definition of marriage. He's not the intolerant one.

Also, their chicken nuggets are so addictive that you will never win this fight. Ranch sauce!

Also, they're one of the few fast food places that gives their employees a weekend day off. This allows those who are Christian to worship in church on Sunday and allows all employees to have a somewhat human schedule. I once worked at a big box place that refused to have any kind of set schedule for full time employees and it was brutal.

I'm gay. I love Chick Fil A. The spicy chicken deluxe is the only fast food sandwich I'll eat.

As it turns out, you don't actually have to share 100% of your political views with everyone you ever do business with.
