With Chick-fil-A you can not own multi units. We see many people building franchise empires either through multi-units or master franchising. Recently we uploaded a video featuring a young college student and already owns and operates 3 franchises between classes and after school. You are not allowed to operate multi units or any other businesses. You are expected to work in the business rather than on the business.Ģ. Business models like Chick-fil-A where franchisees are required to work in the store are considered by many as "buying a job" as opposed to actually owning a business. Some franchises are better at this than others but being able to have your business operate while you run other businesses, work a career, travel or whatever else is a major benefit of franchising. One of the benefits of franchising is the ability to eventually or even initially operate your store in a passive or absentee capacity, meaning it will still operate and generate revenue while you are doing other things. You absolutely need to be at the store and run the store. Let's look at those Top 6 reasons you may not want to buy a Chick-fil-A:ġ. It should be noted that conspicuously absent from the Chick-fil-A owner lists are investor groups, single investors, brokers, sports celebrities or anyone looking to build a franchise empire. However the business model is not for everyone and we'll explain why. So at face value for many people we have the American Dream! - Christian values, closed on Sundays, 4 million dollars annual volumes per store, happy employees, low franchisee turnover AND did we mention a super low franchise fee of only $10,000! Admittedly for many owners Chick-fil-A franchise is a dream come true. The first Chick-fil-A opened in 1967 and the organization has a long history and extensive experience in franchising. They recently received some negative feedback for opposing same sex marriages and sending millions to organizations that lobby against it.Ĭhick-fil-A was actually started as the Dwarf Grill in 1946 and opened by S.

The corporate office doesn't hide the fact they are a Christian organization that believes in traditional marriage and family values. Despite having one less day to sell, Chick-fil-A has higher total revenues than many franchises open Sundays and having double the locations. Considering how effective this is it's surprising how few other companies offer this.Ĭhick-fil-A has just over 2000 restaurants and every one of them closes on Sundays.

Chick-fil-A really seems to take excellent care of their employees and provides incentive programs for hard workers that show initiative to move up the ladder. Employee turnover is also low at only 60% compared to typical food industry attrition rate of over 100%. I'll reveal why in a moment.Ĭhick-fil-A also has a very low franchisee dropout rate at less than 5% and many operators are with the company for 20 years or more. So average Chick-fil-A locations earn literally 10 times what an average Subway earns! For those of you who follow our channel you know I am not a fan of Subway, but if I had to choose between the two I would invest in a Subway before Chick-fil-A even despite the earnings. To put that into perspective the average unit volume of a Subway store is a paltry $422,000. Earnings per store or AUV's (average unit volumes) are at the top of the QSR50 at 4.4 million. There is a lot that Chick-fil-A has done right.
