Chick-fil-A moves from 7th to 2nd as highest grossing restaurant chain in US; trails only McDonald’s

Chick-fil-A is now the second-highest-grossing restaurant chain in the US — despite not being open on Sundays.

Thanks to sales growth in 2019 of 13 percent to $11.3 billion, the chicken slinger leapfrogged over Taco Bell and Burger King to second place behind McDonald’s, according to Restaurant Business Magazine’s annual list of top 500 restaurants.

The Atlanta-based chain’s dominance is even more impressive considering it has only 2,470 locations in the United States. McDonald’s, by comparison, raked in $40.4 billion in gross sales with its 13,846 American locations.

Taco Bell, meanwhile, brought in $11.29 billion with 6,766 restaurants while Burger King’s 7,346 locations raked in $10.2 billion.

Last year, Chick-fil-A was 7th on the list, behind Burger King and Taco Bell, as well as Wendy’s and Subway.

Chick-fil-A has three restaurants in Jackson – 3 Stonebridge Blvd., 2021 North Highland Avenue in the Old Hickory Mall and 620 Skyline Drive in Jackson-Madison County General Hospital.
