How many Chick-fil-A restaurants in Indiana were operating at the end of 2024?

According to Chick Fil A's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 49 Chick-fil-A restaurants operating in Indiana at the end of 2024. The data comes from a table that tracks the status of franchise outlets over the past three years. At the start of 2024, there were 45 Chick Fil A restaurants. During the year, 5 new restaurants opened, and 1 was reacquired by the franchisor.

It is important to note that the table tracks several categories related to outlet changes, including 'Outlets at Start of Year', 'Opened', 'Terminations', 'Non-Renewals', 'Reacquired by Franchisor', 'Ceased Operations - Other Reasons', and 'Outlets at End of Year'. These categories provide a comprehensive view of the changes in the number of franchise outlets. The 'Opened' category includes both newly established restaurants and company-owned restaurants that were purchased by an operator from Chick Fil A.

For a prospective franchisee, this information is valuable in understanding the dynamics of Chick Fil A's presence in Indiana. The growth in the number of outlets indicates potential opportunities for new franchisees. However, the 'Reacquired by Franchisor' and 'Ceased Operations - Other Reasons' categories suggest that there are also factors that can lead to the closure or transfer of a franchise. Reviewing these trends over multiple years can provide a more nuanced understanding of the stability and potential risks associated with operating a Chick Fil A franchise in Indiana.
