Chick-Fil-A has passed KFC as the highest grossing fast food chicken restaurant in the republic, despite being closed every Sunday to honor the Sabbath.

Chick-fil-A’s 2013 sales passed $5 billion, while all of KFC’s U.S. restaurants rang up about $4.22 billion, according to Technomic. And that’s with zero dollars coming in to Chick-fil-A on Sundays, when every restaurant is closed.

What Chick-fil-A lacks in store count, it makes up for in traffic. Each restaurant made about $3.2 million in 2013, more than three times as much as the average KFC at $938,000. Average sales at KFC restaurants have remained largely unchanged over the past decade, while they have climbed steadily at Chick-fil-A. Same-store sales climbed by more than 3.6 percent at Chick-fil-A last year; KFC’s fell by 2 percent.

If Raising Canes continue to expand, Chick-Fil-A can forget about it. Chick-Fil-A comes in second in locations where there's a Raising Canes,

That could be a cost vs type of meal.

CFA tends to be on the more expensive side and even though their food taste good, they are high on the sodium side, so not necessarily the healthiest.

Raising Canes looks like a Zaxby's with less options.
 
I've never been to a chick-fil-a with bad service. They got a very different standard about the people they hire.
 
Man Popeyes used to serve chicken biscuits back in Jackson when I was in college full breakfast too. But it was hard to find a good chicken biscuit until Chik Fil A showed up... They also make up for Sunday with Breakfast. Add to that they are closed by 9-10 when KFC still open...My oldest loves it. It grew on me...
 



I like Popeye's spicy chicken better, but they changed their biscuit recipe - they are not what they use to be.

They all changed their recipes from what they were in the 80s and even the 90s. Popeyes biscuits were off the chain in the 80s.. LOL (I don't play with spicy food tho)

It's a KFC in Jackson by JSU that used to have the best KFC in the world. No other KFC could touch that chicken and tha biscuits were soooo good. BUT, the last time I went there I was disappointed too. :(

If you're worried about that then I certainly hope you grow your own crops and raise your own animals because no matter whether you go to a grocery store or a restaurant you're not getting around that. If it's not antibiotics it'll be something else, and aint nobody eating 100% organic everything everyday...cut it out lol
 
That fast food chain BoJangles thats on every corner in Charlotte is way better than Chick-fil-a.
