Hi Dave,

 DD> That would be up to the "Mother Ship". "Chick-fil-A franchises
 DD> function as an operator-only system, which never confers location
 DD> ownership to the franchisee.

 RH> Unlike other fast food places where a franchise is purchased.

 DD> Oh, you still have to buy the franchise. And you have to fit Chick
 DD> Filly's profile as well as dance to their tune. To open a Chick-fil-A
 DD> franchise, you need to have a net worth of more than U$350,000, have
 DD> prior management and leadership experience, be available for full-time
 DD> commitment and
 DD> training, You also must evaluate market availability & location
 DD> preferences, submit a tiered application then go through a selection
 DD> process and receive approval from the franchisor.

 DD> Check out this "Top 6 Reasons to NOT Buy a Chick-fil-A Franchise"
 DD> https://www.franchise.city/chick-fil-a-franchise

OK, I'm not planning to buy a franchise any time soon.


 DD> "Katherine Wade was the original name on the store's owner/operator
 DD> plaque at the entrance to the restaurant when the brand returned to
 DD> Springfield in 2016. Wade relocated to Raleigh, N.C. in June where
 DD> she operates Chick-fil-A's outlet in Lake Boone Trail."

 RH> I think we've been to that one a few times. Need to be in that area for
 RH> an appointment on Monday & also take my sewing machine in for a tune up
 RH> nearby so may stop there for lunch.

 DD> There should be a plaque inside the front door which may have her name
 DD> on it or the name of the original franchisee.

If we go, I'll let you know.

Catch you later,
