    There's Chick Fil A, and there's the rest.

    In-n-Out Burger and 5-Guys Burger are very similar...limited options & good food, fast. In-n-Outs are not franchises. Dunno about Chik-Fil-A or 5-Guys, but I suspect they are corporate owned and managed. I've yet to eat at a Chik-Fil-A, but I see they're building a new one in Covington, so it shouldn't be too long. Last I looked, there was one in Bellevue and one in Lynnwood, but those locations are out of my normal stomping grounds these days. The wife and I drove to Bellevue one time a few weeks after the Chik opened, but there was a line of vehicles waiting to get into the parking lot, so we went someplace else...Golden Peacock, I think, for Chinese food.

    Chick-fil-A is franchise but they are very strict on who can own one. I know a guy who looked into it one time.

    I have ate at Chick-fil-A in several different states and it has always been excellent food and excellent service.

    Any the place is always clean!!!!!!!!

    Yup friend of mine who has a long and very successful career in the fast food business looked into it. Was told they take hundreds upon hundreds of applications and norrow it down to a select few. He did not get a call.

    Friend of my retiring from the USAF tried to get one. Same story, only a few of the thousands of applicants are awarded a franchise. He did say, though, that once you're in, Chick-Fil-A pays a lot of the up-front cost and the franchisee pays part of the profits to HQ, or something like that. Regardless, a Chick-Fil-A franchise is pretty much a license to print money.

    You can have lip rings, nose rings and tats and still be a good dependable worker. Just throwing that out there.
