Straightforward business story with no political commentary, so I will add some.

Just goes to show what happens when a company does *not* try to appease liberals.

“We’re Closed on Sundays.”

That’s a company that actually cares about their employees.

I like that when doing business.

Impressive considering that those other chains have 2 to 3 times as many stores.

Without reading the article I can safely assume one of the main reasons for their success besides a quality product at a competitive price is CUSTOMER SERVICE. Last time I was in two out of the three Chick-fil-A is gonna leapfrog past the customer service was deplorable, rudeness and bad attitudes were the order of the day.....none for me thanks.

It’s because their sandwiches are delicious.

Third largest, is that by number of stores or sales volume?

I haven't tried Taco Bell in over 30 years (no desire) but I've been to Wendy's 5 or 6 times in the last year (only for the burger and fries)...

Every one of them have great service, good food and clean restaurants. None of this surprises me in the least.

This says a lot for CFA’s simple business plan:

Number one: Let God lead.

Serve delicious food.

Price it right.

Hire quality employees who will appreciate the customers.

They just reopened the one closest to my house. Knocked down the old building, rebuilt on site. Traffic jam!

Starbucks is number 2 as “fast food”?!

Wendy’s sucks now - all the ones in my area are poorly managed - at lunch time it took 20 minutes to get my food (with 2 other people in the store) and then they decided I didn’t need chicken in my bacon and chicken sandwich.

I love Chick-fil-A the restaurant but I don’t love Chick-fil-A chicken. It seems flavorless. Call me old fashion but I prefer the colonel.

Sure as hell hope Chick-fil-A does not eventually cave to the bastards

I didn’t bother to read the story, but it is no surprise to me at all.

The company I work at, a relatively large company for the area, uses Chik-Fil-A quite frequently for catering breakfasts and lunches for meetings large and small. They do a great job and the food is consistently good quality.

They also, periodically, provide complimentary breakfast items to the whole company, which is a nice perk and no small feat, considering the number of employees at almost 500.

When I go to their restaurants, I notice the friendliness and sincerity of the employees and they appear pleased with their employer. It is a pleasant culture the company has instilled.

I really don’t have a bad thing to say about them. Well, maybe one...they should offer the coleslaw, that they provide with their catered lunches, at all of their restaurants too. It goes so well with their sandwiches.

They need to open more restaurants in Michigan. We only have a couple that I know of. Amazing they are doing so well for basically being a regional chain.

Wow. Who knew selling a quality product for a reasonable price with excellent service would lead to success?

This family demonstrates Christian values all around - God first, then family/others. They are very giving, but they don’t advertise it and they don’t go around talking about it in a bragging way.

They live in my community, and I’ve never heard anything negative about them, except from someone I know who wanted something from them (apparently one too many times) and didn’t get it.

And they do it with a 6 day workweek instead of 7.

I’m betting that makes scheduling much easier.
