People left of center don't like chicken? LOL

They def got a bump from the family values crowd but business went back to normal (which is still booming). Not that this conversation came up with all my friends, but IDK of anybody gay or straight who boycotted them and I'm curious about how many consumers actually did boycott. Judging by comments ITT, it sounds more like there were business opportunities that were off limits to them.

Look at where the bulk of their restaurants are, dude. The vast majority of CFAs are located in suburban/rural areas in the southeast. Not exactly a progressive part of the country.

Uhhh, they're from Atlanta and grew out from there. I don't think this supports your case at all. Come to Phoenix. We've got Chick-Fil-A, KFC, Church's, Pollo Loco, Popeyes, and Raising Cane's all within minutes of me.

Yeah, because those ex-urbs outside of Atlanta are bastions of liberal thought. Really really far left places.

I said the bulk of their restaurants. There's a whopping 37 CFAs in Arizona. That isn't many at all for a chain of that size. And it isn't like Arizona is a super liberal place anyway. Your average CFA is located outside a shopping mall in a suburb in Georgia. Not liberal, to put it mildly.

Glad CFA saw the light! I mean, how dare they donate to those awful organizations that don’t help people! WTH kind of dumb@$$ world are we living in where we bow down to these effing leftist three year olds? Making the world better one childish grievance at a time.

Your theory is that there isn't money in selling chicken sandwiches to people left of center, not that there aren't more CFA's in red states. Eyeballing it, it looks like 20% of their business (which they would like to expand) is in blue states...seems like a decent portion of their business to me.

Glad this came up again, I'll head down to CFA and pick up a family pack of their delicious chicken to add to their booming sales.

They have regularly donated to both GLAAD and Focus on Family which are both anti-gay. Not just anti gay marriage.

So what who cares? If it bothers you go eat at Popeyes. I doubt they are gaining or losing anything significant either way. It’s not like this will appease those that look for s*** to be offended by on a daily basis. Next thing will be closing on Sunday is racist.

I prefer to buy my chicken in the grocery store when I pick up a rotisserie for $5 on the way out. You guys can go to a fast food chicken joint all day long and eat their crap if you want.

I never said there isn't money selling chicken to left-of-center people. You read that into what I was saying. I said their core demographic isn't left-of-center. 95% of the reason why their core demo isn't left-of-center has to do with where the chain originated and has expanded to over the years. Truett Cathy opened the first one in an Atlanta suburb and CFA's growth strategy for years was to put CFAs in and around shopping malls in the South, which are overwhelmingly located in suburban, conservative areas. The core demo of your average meat-and-three restaurant is conservative for the exact same reason, and the core demo of Shake Shack is probably left-of-center for the same reason (or at least it was when the chain was smaller).

You know, I can’t say I recall groups of conservatives targeting businesses and/or individuals across the country in an attempt to wreck them financially because they donate to charities they disagree with. Yet the leftist liberals find time to do everything in their power to destroy businesses and individuals that they disagree with that have done nothing to them. Their crime is that they donated to an organization where a myth has been perpetuated that they are anti LGBTQXYZ, anti immigrant, anti, anti, anti...and the lot of left wings libs on this forum and elsewhere smirk, fold their arms and grin with great satisfaction as if they’ve done something good for the world. Well done.

I mocked Lebron. It's right there in the thread. Show me where I praised him? I couldn't be more disappointed in his comments.

The truth always eludes you.

Chick Filet caved. Their leadership has decided to push their previously stated religious principles aside in order to pursue profits, and to be accepted into the arms of the far left crowd.

This isn't a far left issue. Maybe they just got tired of being on the wrong side of history
