Specifically, for Florida in 2023, there were 191 outlets at the start of the year. In addition to the 21 new openings, 6 were reacquired by Chick Fil A. There were no terminations, non-renewals or outlets ceasing operations for other reasons. This resulted in 206 Chick Fil A locations in Florida at the end of 2023.
