What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Chick Fil A's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Food Truck Program is a mobile extension of existing Chick Fil A businesses. Chick Fil A developed the program to allow qualified operators to lease and use a custom food truck to produce, hold, and/or sell a limited menu of Chick-fil-A products. These food trucks are obtained from a third-party approved supplier (the Food Truck Lessor) and include the necessary equipment, furnishings, and fixtures.

The Food Truck Lessor assists Chick Fil A by procuring and leasing the Food Trucks directly to participating operators. They also manage the lifecycle and disposition of each Food Truck according to the terms of the applicable Food Truck Lease. Chick Fil A retains ownership of the Food Truck Program, including the design, specifications, menu selection, and marketing methods. Operators are granted a temporary license to operate the Food Truck for the specified use at approved sales locations.

Chick Fil A can terminate or suspend the Food Truck agreement at any time, potentially using the food truck for alternative purposes such as food distribution during natural disasters or other events. Operators participating in the Food Truck Program acknowledge that it is still in the development stages and involves substantial risks, bearing the risk of its success or failure based on their own business judgment.
