In June this month, Chick-fil-A held a three-day pop-up at the Esplanade, where it served its typical chicken sandwiches and crepe potatoes. Money from the sold-out cards were given to the Community Chest donation account.
Chick-fil-A is now accepting programs for local owners here. Because Chick-fil-A covers most of the startup costs, but also charges the owner for hire, a basic working charge, and profit-sharing, the franchise model has an unusual one. Applicants only have to pay a small franchise fee and are not expected to spend a lot of capital.
However, the franchisees are expected to have hands-on experience at their stores, and they are generally not permitted to open more than one tree to demonstrate their commitment to their current one.
Singapore franchisees will also have the opportunity to participate in the Chick-fil-A Shared Board food donation program, which provides food to those in need by donating surplus food to local nonprofit organizations.
