5fouls Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 Chick-fil-A has an eye-popping sales per unit when compared to the other chains. Would also be interesting to see this list from 1979. KFC may have been the only one on it. Bojangles and Lee's are the two I remember seeing first, at least in this area. Rank Chain name 2019 U.S. sales ($000,000) Sales stimated 2019 U.S. units 3 Chick-fil-A $11,320 * 2,470 14 KFC $4,546 4,065 19 Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen $3,812 2,476 36 Zaxby's $1,886 * 910 42 Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers $1,466 457 44 Wingstop $1,363 1,231 47 Bojangles' $1,332 746 54 El Pollo Loco $895 482 65 Church's Chicken $716 * 1,032 90 Boston Market $502 390 104 Pollo Tropical $425.6 174 186 Golden Chick $183.5 184 210 Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken $161.2 * 129 215 Chicken Salad Chick $153.3 144 229 Pollo Campero $143.4 78 247 PDQ $127.3 * 56 250 Jollibee $126.6 40 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently discovered a good man hack...5 pieces of that is $5 at my local unit. An air fryer means you can easily get two meals out of that unless you're super hungry. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Hoopsier Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 Chambers Smorgasbord Fried Chicken, Spencer IN, for the win! Deep fried biscuits with apple butter. And Catfish without a face for those Vegans who dare come. OH, and an 18" x 32" apple crisp or no bake oatmeal cookie, just to finish off the meal. On any given day, you might meet some of the cast of Porter Ridge (Famous local TV show). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a place in Ireland, IN called The Chicken Place that's a good local joint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally know ~4 of them on the show, and 2 people that were hired as "handlers" to keep that jiberish speaking crack head "grounded". Even with that, I almost made it through 2 episodes. Just couldn't stomach it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
