Its franchise model promotes local entrepreneurship, as most restaurants are owned and operated by a single individual.

Owner-operators are not passive investors but small business owners actively involved in the day-to-day operations.

They engage with local entities to support community needs through philanthropic efforts.

Chick-fil-A Midwest Region area director Scott Mayson said: “With a unique blend of rural, suburban and city neighbourhoods, Michigan is filled with tight-knit communities and proud residents.

 “For nearly a decade, our passionate local owner-operators have been serving the Great Lakes region, where they are committed to attracting and developing top talent, delivering delicious food and our signature hospitality, and building meaningful relationships in their communities.”

In August 2024, Chick-fil-A introduced its inaugural high-rise drive-through restaurant, a new concept aimed at improving service efficiency.
