While the mall locations have performed very well over the last couple of years it is important to note that Chick-Fil-A has closed approximately 50 mall locations since 2018. This means that not all malls perform well. In an economy focused on staying at home e-commerce has caused many malls to close and lose many tenants. Chick-Fil-A as a result is strategic about which malls they grant franchises to open in. If you are to open a franchise in a mall Chick-Fil-A will help find the best strategic storefront in the mall. Chick-Fil-A prides itself on assisting franchisees to get off the ground on all fronts from financing, to having the proper mentors in place across all the different types of locations.
