Weird , I would think like a $1m a year Check out the rules to own a chick-fil-a franchise. You pretty much pay to be the store manager. 46 minutes ago, Augie said: I know some of the Atlanta locations have to hire cops to control the traffic around lunchtime. It’s CRAZY! As Yogi would say, no one goes there any more, it’s too crowded! I like the stuff, but I don’t NEED it that badly. They have them in buffalo for now. The drive thru line is insane as soon as they start serving lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Tom had to find a way to pay for the Tigers somehow. Location, location, location. Maybe because of how little Tom made on Dominos thats how he came up with the idea for Little Cesar's?

I don't understand the obsession with the place. Then you, sir, have never eaten the wholesome goodness that is Chick-Fil-A. To hell with the weather. Chick-Fil-A is THE best part about living in the south! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting one in the stadium probably wouldn’t be a good idea. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sbnation.com/platform/amp/lookit/2017/8/16/16156300/falcons-stadium-chick-fil-a-closed-sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand the obsession with the place. Ive had it a few times and I’m with you. I mean, it’s fine...I just don’t get the obsession. when it comes to fast food chicken it’s good but I’d take Popeyes over it any day. Prob Xaxbys too. And I’d take raising canes over all of em 10 out of 10 times. Edited December 8, 2018 by billsfanmiami(oh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 6 hours ago, Phil The Thrill said: I’m reading that the Chic-Fil-A franchise is looking to expand more into Western, NY. The first store opened in Cheektowaga a few weeks ago and last year in Rochester. Both stores are making a killing as you can see by the huge-arse lines and the traffic. They are trying to put another one in the Rochester area so that means Buffalo will likely follow. Here’s my pitch....put it in New Era Stadium. How sweet would it be to dine on chicken sandwiches and waffle fries in the stadium. This is my dream. Of course, with Russ Brandon out of the picture it might be possible. He chose to hire all locally owned venues as food vendors. Lets my dream becomes a reality! I’m sorry your dream had to die such a quick and painful death. Better luck next time!!! ?

Captain_Quint Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I swear they put the Chick Filet in the Falcons stadium just to hang the 'Closed for Jesus' sign in the window on Sundays. My gay cousins also dont like Chick Filet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd venture to guess they were all clean and well maintained. That's the thing. The food is pretty good, but I think the real draw is the customer service and atmosphere. You'll very rarely find used hypodermic needs in the bathroom of a Chick-Fil-A. McDonalds and Burger King is another ball game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the one makes over double that, but to be fair he does have 2 stores. (Which is rare, they prefer to limit you to one) Keep in mind, they are CFA employees, not actual equity owners. Pretty good gig from everything I have seen and heard. Yup, and there is another restaurant in the stadium that sells a knockoff sandwich called C.O.S. (Closed on Sunday’s) My understanding of it, after watching a guy I knew in passing go through it, is that being a franchisee is a good gig- but that you really want to work to a point of store owner which is where the big bucks are. Chick fil has good food (one of the best options in my 1.5 horse town) but as mentioned above, their selling point is customer care and cleanliness. Also, I find their food to be less likely to kill me than some fast food. Edited December 8, 2018 by whatdrought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
