That’s because they are getting overwhelmed with customers. What Corporate needs to do is streamline the process for franchising. Chick-Fil-A is the most difficult franchise to purchase.

Well I guess the franchisee in our area is doing something right. Two new Chick-fil-A’s are opening in the next year or so. The one that opened near Tacoma Mall is doing very well.
Quality control?
[That’s because they are getting overwhelmed with customers. ]
That’s not the case. I tell them my order, and they repeat it back to me, and it’s not what I ordered. The problems are before I even walk away from the register.
I read, somewhere, a while back that Chick-Fil-A gets over 20k franchise applications a year. They only grant 75-80 (per year).
Exceptionally tough to get a franchise.
You are chosen for a franchise, purchase is just a token price. Plus you need to be related to someone, it ain’t easy but you can make 250k on average per year owning one.

Perhaps not. Quality is more important than quantity. Chick fil A limits its franchises to one store in which the franchise owner must be an active worker. McDonalds suffers greatly from too many multi-unit franchises with absentee owners who are milking the cow.

HQ has a very rigorous vetting process for new franchisees; that’s why the product, service quality, and cleanliness are uniformly at such a high standard across the chain.
There is a reason for that. It keeps the ones that are open solvent.
Subway is the opposite of this. I have seen Subway’s across the street from each other.
