I live in a county of just over 50,000 with one chick-fil-a.
I can’t believe it. Packed FULL. Cars lined up for over a mile! Police are having to direct traffic. Some are parking in other lots and walk to get their chicken.

I worked for Chick-fil-a during my freshman year of college in the early 80’s. Unless something has changed, they don’t sell franchises. At that time each location was run by an “operator” in quasi-partnership with with the Chick-fil-a company. The operator paid a $5,000 fee to Chick-fil-a for the privilege of operating one location. They did not allow a man to operate more than one store because they wanted him to actively manage his location.

The operator I worked for was a retired baptist pastor and he was a tremendous man. I learned much from him that helped me later in my law career. He demonstated how a man can be a faithful witness for Christ each and every day. For him, Chick-fil-a was a ministry.
