Chic-Fil-A In New Era Stadium

[Phil The Thrill]

I’m reading that the Chic-Fil-A franchise is looking to expand more into Western, NY.  The first store opened in Cheektowaga a few weeks ago and last year in Rochester.  Both stores are making a killing as you can see by the huge-arse lines and the traffic.

 

They are trying to put another one in the Rochester area so that means Buffalo will likely follow.

 

Here’s my pitch....put it in New Era Stadium.  How sweet would it be to dine on chicken sandwiches and waffle fries in the stadium.  This is my dream.

 

Of course, with Russ Brandon out of the picture it might be possible.  He chose to hire all locally owned venues as food vendors.  

 

Lets my dream becomes a reality!

Chic-fil-A cannot open on Sunday. Putting one in the stadium probably wouldn’t be a good idea.

yep.  Lock it up.

[Fr. Jerk]

People in Rochester were camping outside in anticipation for the grand opening which included a free sandwich that probably normally costs three dollars. I don't understand the obsession with the place.   

[JohnC]

The owner is resolute in his conviction not to be open on Sundays. They operate in Atlanta's Mercede Benz Stadium but are closed on Sundays.

The second one in Buffalo will also be built in Cheektowaga, at Transit and Losson. They went in front of the town board last week  to start the process.

I don't either.  WNY has some of the best chow options anywhere, and Chic-Fil-A is not one of them

Do you know what the average earning is for a Domino Pizza or McDonald or Subway franchise owner? I know there is a wide variation for stores but do you have a knowledge of the average earning?

I know 2 Chic-fil-a owner operators in Atlanta and they both make considerably more than $150K per year.  I know the one makes over double that, but to be fair he does have 2 stores. (Which is rare, they prefer to limit you to one) Keep in mind, they are CFA employees, not actual equity owners. Pretty good gig from everything I have seen and heard.

Yup, and there is another restaurant in the stadium that sells a knockoff sandwich called C.O.S. (Closed on Sunday’s)

Their chicken wraps and fruit cups are my favorite.

[NoHuddleKelly12]

They make one of the best breakfast burritos (chix or sausage) I’ve ever had from a fast food place—very substantial and filling, and also like their chix and cheese bfast bagel. Overall a bit pricier than the comp, but the employees seem to actually care and are friendlier than most too for similar establishments

The reason is that it's hard getting anything cheap and fast done consistently well/right.

 

McDonalds thought it would be easy to just make their own version so they copied the sandwich.......ingredients and seasoning basically the same.........but they can't do it..  

 

Just not enough attention to detail in their process.

 

And chick-fil-a is like that with everything.

  Used to be Domino's Pizza franchisee's back in the 1980's lived in their cars (homeless) to hear them talk.  I guess Tom had to find a way to pay for the Tigers somehow.

I know some of the Atlanta locations have to hire cops to control the traffic around lunchtime. It’s CRAZY! As Yogi would say, no one goes there any more, it’s too crowded! I like the stuff, but I don’t NEED it that badly.

Buffalo style chicken finger subs.
