Chick-fil-A on Track to Become Third Largest Fast Food Chain The chicken chain will claim the No. 3 spot in the U.S. in sales by the
end of 2018. This is big jump from being the
No. 7 spot in 2017. Analyst Mark Kalinowski initially predicted Chick-fil-A would take the
No. 3 spot in 2020. He recently updated his forecast that it would be third by 2019. In 2017, Chick-fil-A sales grew by
$1.1 billion. It is difficult to calculate exact sales because Chick-fil-A is a
private company. The nearest competitor would be Domino's, whose sales grew by about 12% in 2018. Currently, Subway is the third-largest restaurant chain in the U.S. by sales.
