Does Chick Fil A require franchisees to offer the Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips on their menu?

According to the 2025 Chick Fil A Franchise Disclosure Document, Chick Fil A requires franchisees to offer Chick-n-Strips on their menu. This is explicitly stated in Exhibit C of the Franchise Agreement, which lists the required Chick-fil-A Menu Offerings.

This requirement ensures consistency across all Chick Fil A locations, maintaining brand standards and customer expectations. By mandating specific menu items, Chick Fil A aims to control the quality and uniformity of its offerings, which is a common practice in the franchise industry.

For a prospective franchisee, this means they must include Chick-n-Strips on their menu and adhere to Chick Fil A's standards for preparation and presentation. This reduces the franchisee's flexibility in customizing the menu but provides the benefit of offering proven, popular items that contribute to the brand's success.
