The outlet shared a video the same day on its website, explaining how Chick-fil-A was able to rise to such meteoric levels.
Titled, "How Chick-fil-A Got Big by Keeping Its Menu Small Chick-fil-A," the video explained how the restaurant is building its business on "the strength of a simple chicken sandwich."
Some of the reasons The Wall Street Journal attributes to Chick-fil-A's rise include:
- Simple ingredients
- Simple menu additions
- Efficient drive-through performance
- The company's single-owner franchise system
- America's taste for chicken has grown, while beef has dropped
- Increased market share when compared to other chicken-centric restaurant chains
It’s our pleasure.❤️ https://t.co/jJw3dnB4xK— Chick-fil-A, Inc. (@ChickfilA) June 20, 2019
