If you’ve never been to Chick-fil-A, then you’re missing out on one of the largest fast food chains in the United States. Known for their chicken sandwiches, Chick-fil-A has 2,813 locations in the United States. Its corporate headquarters is in College Park, Georgia. Here’s what you need to know about this chain and its products. First and foremost, it’s a great place to have breakfast.
Breakfast
Whether you’re looking for a tasty, fast breakfast or want to start your day with a healthy meal, a Chick-fil-A breakfast is sure to meet your needs. With a wide range of menu options, this fast food chain is sure to please any customer. While the traditional chicken sandwich may still be popular, you can now find many healthier alternatives at the Chick-fil-A. Breakfast is served daily from six to 10 am. You can order ahead of time or even download the Chick-fil-A app to your phone.
A classic Chick-fil-A breakfast includes a biscuit. Its buttermilk biscuits are fluffy, flaky, and seasoned just right. Every single biscuit is hand-breaded with peanut oil, ensuring that it is made to perfection. The company even claims to bake every biscuit in-house and 119 million of them were ordered in 2017.
Low-carb options
Eating at Chick-fil-A isn’t hard, as they have a wide variety of low-carb and modified low-carb menu options. In addition to their chicken sandwiches, they also offer grilled nuggets and salads. For those on a low-carb diet, avoiding the bun is a smart idea, and they don’t compromise taste or flavor.
To start with, don’t order anything with bread. Bread is loaded with carbohydrates, so be sure to ask for bread without buns. Desserts aren’t keto-friendly, either, as they’re too sweet and full of carbs. Avoid breaded items, such as chicken strips, as they’re loaded with carbohydrates. Instead, opt for grilled chicken nuggets and skip the hash brown scramble bowl.
Price
If you’re wondering how much a sandwich at Chick-fil-A will cost, you’re not alone. Many chicken restaurants are catching on and introducing new chicken sandwiches. However, the prices vary from location to location. While you can find a list of typical prices online, they may not be accurate for your location. To be safe, check with your local Chick-fil-A for a price.
The price of a meal at a Chick-fil-A may vary slightly in different states, depending on the state you’re in. For example, a Big Mac in Austin, Texas, will cost $3.75, while the same meal in Seattle, Washington, will cost almost double. This variation in prices is a result of geography, economics, and real estate costs. In addition, COVID-19 (which is affecting all food prices) has led to an increase in the cost of fast food overall. In some areas, like Texas, the prices have been spiking in recent years.
Cathy’s goal for future of company
Cathy’s goal for the future of Chick-fil-A is to continue building on her father’s legacy. She is a big supporter of executive leadership and is involved in many aspects of the business, including leadership development, onboarding new franchise operators and employees, and brand ambassadorship. With over 2,600 restaurants in 47 states, Cathy is focusing on the Canadian market, where she plans to open 15 new locations in five years.
As a business woman, Cathy placed a great importance on family and marriage. She believes that the issues within a household reflect on the business. That’s why she shut down her restaurants on Sundays, ensuring that families had time together with their children. She also wanted to ensure that employees were happy and well-rested, thereby better serving customers. She modeled this behavior in other industries as well, such as fast food.
Funding for anti-gay causes
In a recent report, the Human Rights Campaign cited Chick-fil-A’s donations to anti-LGBTQ groups as one of the main reasons it should be banned from opening new locations. Since 2003, the chain has given nearly $2 million to groups that push for ‘ex-gay therapy’ and other efforts to turn gay people straight. In addition, Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has targeted the fast-food chain.
Although the company had pledged to end its anti-LGBTQ funding, the founder and executives have continued to support these groups. Some of the organizations that Chick-fil-A has supported in the past include the National Christian Foundation and Sesame Street. In 2012, Chick-fil-A stopped sponsoring Sesame Street, a children’s show that promotes the anti-gay death penalty, but continues to give funds to the LGBTQ media watchdog group GLAAD.
