(Christian Post) Despite having fewer stores, which are also closed on Sundays so employees can spend time with their families and attend church, Chick-fil-A has taken KFC’s crown as the leader in the U.S. chicken fast-food industry.
A Yahoo! Finance report noted that YUM! Brands, which owns KFC, removed the phrase from the company’s latest annual report that once described KFC as “the leader in the U.S. chicken [quick-service restaurant] segment.”
That title, says food industry researcher Technomic, now belongs to the worshipful Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A because its locations do more business than KFC restaurants, according to The Associated Press.
While KFC still remains much bigger than Chick-fil-A globally, Chick-fil-A has been leading KFC since 2012.
