They are privately held, in a news release they said they hired Morgan Stanley to manage a major expansion.

That usually means they will start suffering...These new "business grads" are convinced you can cut corners into prosperity.

There food quality taste has dropped a lot imo. Their biscuits are like rocks and something isn't the same with their beef/hamburger.
And people loving on Chik fila must not have a taste bud one...........pure propaganda like starbutt coffee. Libs like starbutts and conservatives tout chik fila and Texans rave about Whataburger.

Even if their burger was superior... Which it is not. Terrible fries and I can't stomach their horrible attempt at tea. Now if you want an ice cream debate. You best not get between me and some braums mint chocolate chip.

And people loving on Chik fila must not have a taste bud one........... My 1 year old eats a plain patty at Whataburger. Last time she only ate 1/2 of it so I finished it... yeah im a clear your plate don't waste food type, I was really surprised, most fast food burger patties by themselves are bland as all get out, it was good. I like chick fil a but ill go to canes over it any day if my kids don't have anything to say about it.

The last of the two original founders died last year. Perhaps the kids and their families are wanting to take the money and run.

If you're forced to go to Chic fil a, get the spicy chicken sandwich well done, add pepper jack cheese and bacon. Also get those soggy trash waffle fries well done. When you order it well done the double fry it so it makes the chicken and fries to the perfect crispiness.

Hope the taste stays tolerable. This keeps a person from going "plant based".

Seems every time a new owner comes aboard they want to change things to fit their idea of how to make it better, and it usually doesn't work. Hope they leave it alone!.....If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Thursday at 12:45 PM #33 Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

I'm okay with an IPO, but selling the entire company to another private entity is a recipe for disaster.

I hope they change it completely because Whataburger sucks!
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.
