Being a Chick-fil-A® Franchisee is a life investment

Chick-fil-A® Franchisees help continue the legacy that began with our founder Truett Cathy to be a positive influence on the people and communities we serve.

While it is an exceedingly rewarding opportunity, it does require long hours and leading a team of mostly young, hourly-paid employees. It’s not for those seeking passive financial investment, working from the sidelines, or adding to a portfolio of business ventures. It’s a hands-on, life investment for leaders looking to build a business and their community.

“Becoming an Operator is not about making a financial investment or having a retirement option. It is about investing your time to build a culture of care around your restaurant.”

Ummara Sajid, Houston, TX

“When you’re running your restaurant, you have to learn how to be flexible and balance being there for your people and running your business at the same time.”

Trevelle Harvey, District Heights, MD

“There is a misconception that Chick-fil-A Operators make a lot of money right off the bat. The reality is, your business may not be profitable for the first few years.”

Dawn Kosir, Corsicana, TX
