Quick Facts

It takes a potato about 115 days to grow to become Chick-fil-A® Potato Fries
The weight of Waffle Potato Fries Chick-fil-A® sold last year would equal 17,000 elephants
Chick-fil-A sold more than 282 million Chick-fil-A® Sandwiches, that is 537 a minute or almost 9 sandwiches per second.
Laid end to end, that is more than 22,253 miles of Chicken Sandwiches.
That is more than enough sandwiches to reach from Boston to Sydney, Australia and back, or to wrap around the equator of the moon three times.
If you stack the Chicken Sandwiches one on top of the other, the stack would be more than 8,901 miles tall! That is enough to make 23 stacks that reach the Hubble Telescope (380 miles in space), with a few sandwiches left over.
That is enough Chicken Sandwiches to make more than 44 stacks that reach the International Space Station (approximately 200 miles from Earth).
Chick-fil-A sold more than 58 million Chick-fil-A® Spicy Chicken Sandwiches from June to December 2010, that is 110 a minute or almost 2 sandwiches per second.
The amount of Chick-fil-A® Nuggets sold – 2.03 billion – would cover more than half of the earth's circumference.
Chick-fil-A used more than 340 million buns and more than 1.27 million gallons of pickles for its Original Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich, Chick-fil-A® Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Chick-fil-A® Chargrilled Chicken Sandwiches.
Chick-fil-A used more than 143 million lemons to make its freshly squeezed lemonade. That is enough lemon "juice" to fill nearly 952,000 10-gallon drink coolers at the Chick-fil-A Bowl!

Jan. 28, 2013 Chick-fil-A Giving Consistent with Historical Principles, Not Political Debate

Over the past three years alone, Chick-fil-A has given more than $68 million in contributions to over 700 different educational and charitable organizations around the country, in addition to providing millions of dollars in food donations.  While we evaluate individual donations on an annual basis, our giving is focused on three key areas:  youth and education, leadership and family enrichment and serving the local communities in which we operate.  Our intent is to not support political or social agendas. This has been the case for more than 60 years.


The Chick-fil-A culture and service tradition in our restaurants is to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect and to serve great food with genuine hospitality.


For more information on our company’s giving, go to www.chick-fil-a.com/Company/Responsibility-Overview. For more background on Chick-fil-A, see "Who We Are" document.
