Associated Press: Chick-fil-A executives routinely say that the chain's 1,250 restaurants in 37 states, spanning from Georgia to California to Massachusetts, make as much money in six days a week as many of its competitors do in seven.
For nearly 40 years, Chick-Fil-A has offered up a taste of the South, from its chicken sandwiches to sweet tea and biscuits and gravy. The Atlanta-based company the 25th largest restaurant chain in the U.S. with nearly $2 billion in sales in 2005 — has increased revenues by at least 11 percent a year for the past decade.
