How do you apply for a Chick-Fil-A franchise?

Answer 1

$5,000 dollars!........

Yes.... that's right only $5,000 dollars is needed to buy into this franchise. Franchisees who buy into this must be dedicated though. Chick-fil-A requires that its restaurant operators be involved in the business. Chick-fil-A takes 15% of sales from the top to cover national marketing, and general upkeep of the brand and then 50% of profits each month, thus the reason the buy-in is so inexpensive. While this may seem like a bad deal, many Chick-fil-A operators make $200K/ year or more. Not such a bad deal at all!

Answer 2

You need to go to the Corporate Site and fill out a form.
