What is Chick-fil-A?
Chick-fil-A® is the #1 chicken restaurant in the United States. The two things we’re most known for are great food and a welcoming environment. The first Chick-fil-A restaurant opened in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1967, and we’ve been growing ever since. We currently open approximately 100 new restaurants a year in the U.S. Some of our most recent new markets include Seattle and New York City. In 2019, the first franchisee-owned Chick-fil-A restaurant outside the U.S. has opened in Toronto.
Why are Chick-fil-A® restaurants closed on Sundays?
All Chick-fil-A restaurants are closed on Sunday to give our Team Members the opportunity to rest and enjoy time with their families before beginning the week again on Monday. Chick-fil-A Operators are proud to offer Team Members a consistent day off each week.
What are the hours of Chick-fil-A® restaurants?
The standard operating hours for Chick-fil-A restaurants are Monday - Friday, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Our restaurants are always closed on Sunday and Christmas Day. However, each Chick-fil-A restaurant is a locally owned and operated business, so outside of these days, our franchised Operators may modify their hours of operation.
How do we decide where to build a Chick-fil-A® restaurant?
Chick-fil-A opens a limited number of restaurants each year. While we receive hundreds of suggestions from customers on where they would like to see a new Chick-fil-A restaurant, the real estate team at Chick-fil-A, Inc. is responsible for selecting all new locations based on corporate goals for expansion in specifically targeted markets, among other relevant business factors.
Where are Chick-fil-A® restaurants opening in Canada and when?
We take several factors into consideration when selecting a location for a new restaurant, which includes corporate goals for expansion in specific target markets. Chick-fil-A is currently focused on expansion in Ontario, with plans to open 20 stores in the next five years, and we expect the restaurants to create between 50 and 75 new jobs per location. We hope to serve you soon! For a list of Chick-fil-A® restaurants ready to serve you, please visit our locations page.
How is Chick-fil-A's food prepared?
Chick-fil-A® customers expect great-tasting and quality food when they visit our restaurants. That’s why our salads are prepared fresh daily, our Chick-fil-A Lemonade is made with only three ingredients and our chicken is breaded by hand in our restaurants. Our commitment to using quality ingredients has been central to our operations for more than 50 years®.
Where can I find the nutrition and ingredient information for Chick-fil-A® menu items?

Why does Chick-fil-A® use peanut oil?
Ever since we created the Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich, we’ve been cooking our hand-breaded chicken exclusively in fully refined, heat-processed peanut oil.
For customers who are concerned about peanut allergies, it may be helpful to know that our peanut oil is refined, bleached and deodorized, which means the proteins in our peanut oil are stripped out during the processing. Highly refined peanut oil is not required to be labelled as an allergen by Health Canada. If you are allergic to peanuts, ask your doctor whether you should avoid peanut oil.
Do you have vegetarian or vegan menu items?
Many of our menu items can be modified for customers who choose to follow a vegetarian and vegan diet. Here are a few options we consider to be vegetarian or vegan, but we recommend you check the ingredients of each item in our menu section.
While most of our menu items are handcrafted in our restaurant kitchens, we do not designate vegetarian-only preparation surfaces. Find more detailed information about our nutrition, ingredients and allergens in the Allergens Guide.
Where is your chicken sourced?
Our chicken is raised without antibiotics, held to rigorous standards for cut and quality, and sourced from the U.S. by suppliers required to meet or exceed our stringent Animal Wellbeing standards.
Is your chicken free-range or organic?
We’re all about chicken, so you can be sure that we’re extremely selective about the chicken we serve. Our chicken is not free-range or organic, but we do serve meat that comes from chickens that live in climate-controlled barns where they are cage-free, free to roam, and have full access to feed and water.
Are Chick-fil-A® chickens treated humanely?
As one of the largest chicken chains, we take the treatment of animals very seriously and have a well-defined set of Animal Wellbeing Standards in place, and our chicken suppliers are required to meet or exceed these standards.
What gluten-free options are offered at Chick-fil-A® restaurants?
Chick-fil-A restaurants are not gluten-free. We recommend you check the ingredients of each item in our menu section.
