Tenant Overview

In a sea of burger chains and taco joints, Chick-fil-A stands out in more ways than one.

Stepping into the iconic red-and-white buildings, customers find a simplified menu board of chicken sandwiches and waffle fries and not a single digital ordering kiosk in sight. The privately held chicken restaurant is known for its customer service and quality ingredients, often shunning over-the-top, limited-time offers and technology in favor of a simple menu and personal service.

These investments are typically in high demand, tranlasting into lower cap rates despite currently being a privately held company. It is important to note that the leases are typicaly ground leases for these locations.

Positives:

  • Unique Business Model
  • Currently in expansion stage
  • Typically Long term leases with increases

Negatives:

  • Currently Not Rated
  • Typically High Price Per Square Foot
