Question
opening a chick fil a franchise?
So I was just thinking about a chick fil a franchise. I went to their website and it said the initial investment is only 5,000 dollars. It had a form to fill out to get more information, but how is it only 5,000 dollars? What other investment money am I going to look forward to also spending for this business.

Franchising opportunities with Chick-fil-A differ from those available for most other restaurants. Chick-fil-A Inc. maintains full ownership of every location; individuals interested in franchising are only allowed to become operators rather than owners. Due to this setup, operators are only required to provide an up-front investment of $5,000, and the parent company selects locations and builds the restaurant, rather than the individual businessperson doing it. But the parent company takes a larger percentage of business profits compared to other franchise opportunities: half of the net profits each month. The operator receives the other half.

Don't get your hopes up to quickly... You only need to commit $5,000 for a Chick-fil-A franchise. However, the parent company takes a greater percentage of your recurring business over time – 15% of gross sales and 50% of net profits each month. You are not the owner but you are the Operator. They are very picky and you MUST have major background with opening businesses from the ground up. They also pick the location where it will be build, so you can't say... Hey, I think a Chick-fil-A would be perfect here. Good luck.
