Chick-fil-A Lifts 2025 Revenue 14% to $10.3 Billion as It Opens 179 Restaurants

2 articles · Updated · CNBC · Oct 4

$10.3 billion in 2025 revenue marked a 14% rise for Chick-fil-A, while net income edged up 1% to $1.05 billion despite softer restaurant traffic across the industry.
About 3,000 locations generated $23.92 billion in system sales last year, keeping the private chain the third-largest U.S. restaurant brand by sales behind McDonald's and Starbucks.
The growth came with 179 new restaurants and continued expansion into markets including Canada, Singapore and the U.K., though CEO Andrew Cathy said the company will keep a conservative pace and has no IPO plans.
Cathy said Chick-fil-A is sticking with human-to-human hospitality rather than AI voice ordering in drive-thrus, betting service will help defend its roughly 43% U.S. chicken-chain market share as rivals push harder into chicken.
