Chick-fil-A is taking over the fast-food industry.
The chicken chain is set to become the third-largest restaurant by sales in 2018, up from the No. 7 spot in 2017, according to Kalinowski Equity Research.
People have been predicting that Chick-fil-A could snag the No. 3 spot — behind reigning champ McDonald’s and Starbucks — for quite some time. However, initial predictions anticipated Chick-fil-A would take the spot in 2020. In April, analyst Mark Kalinowski updated his forecast, saying Chick-fil-A could take the No. 3 spot by 2019.
