Chick-Fil-A Sales Have Doubled Since LGBT Boycotts Began

Chick-fil-A is CLEARLY evil.

What, with their delicious chicken sandwiches, and extremely courteous service, and occasional support for traditional Christian organizations.

PURE AND UNADULTERATED EVIL, I SAY!

Anyway- many on the Left have been waging war against this Evil Chicken Empire for years now and –

It’s not working.

Their sales haven’t JUST increased since the battle began… THEY’VE DOUBLED.

According to Daily Wire:

“Chick-fil-A’s annual sales have more than doubled since LGBT and liberal groups began calling for a boycott of the restaurant in 2012, according to a new analysis,” reports Christian Headlines. “In 2012, when controversy arose over the CEO’s comments about same-sex marriage, sales totaled $4.6 billion, up from $4.1 billion the year before. In 2018, sales totaled $10.46 billion, making it the third-largest restaurant in the United States behind McDonald’s and Starbucks.”

On top of the sales bumps, the chain has added 700 new restaurants in the span of those seven years. Journal & Courier noted that in 2018 alone, Chick-fil-A saw a sales increase more than four times that of Starbucks at 16.7%.

What can I say? Chick-Fil-A’s eeeevil sammiches are just plain GOOD.

Kalinowski Equity Research founder Mark Kalinowski told Business Insider that with enough time, Chick-fl-A may well surpass Starbucks. “Can they reach $30 billion? I think that’s also a realistic goal if you give them enough time, and that should put them ahead of Starbucks,” he said.

I mean put it this way… would you rather have a latte or a TASTY TASTY SAMMICH?!

Duh.

Glenn T. Stanton, director of global family formation studies at Focus on the Family, told Christian Headlines that the numbers show Chick-fil-A’s enemies are in a small but vocal minority.

“The only ones who seem to have any kind of beef with the wildly popular chicken restaurant are a minivan-size group of squeaky extremists on the far left,” said Stanton. “They’ve concluded that Chick-fil-A is bigoted without the slightest bit of evidence – only that their founders believe in natural marriage. Their position sits very well with the rest of us.”

“Not only have they doubled their sales in the last few years, but they have won the prize for the fast-food establishment with the highest customer service rating the last four years running,” Stanton continued. “Bigoted businesses do not tend to rate well in customer satisfaction. Chick-fil-A was won this vaulted spot because it is their pleasure to serve everyone who comes through their doors and do so with all graciousness.”

Chick-Fil-A’s nemeses, however, will not be deterred!

Despite the high numbers, the leftist enemies of Chick-fil-A have nevertheless persisted, increasingly upping their tactics at every turn by banning restaurants from opening on college campuses and even airports. Residents of Toronto recently took the protests to extreme levels when they showed up at a store’s grand opening brandishing angry signs while staging die-ins outside the restaurant.

Northwestern University management professor Brayden King said the boycotts were, however, successful by getting media attention.

“I think the activists would say the boycott against Chick-fil-A is successful even if they didn’t get people who typically go to Chick-fil-A to stop buying Chick-fil-A sandwiches,” King told the podcast Freakonomics. “The reason they would say it was successful is because they got the media to pay attention.”

Well… all this media attention is making me hungry for Chick-Fil-A. So they may want to rethink that.
