Here in Washington state, there were no Chic-fil-a restaurants but they opened up one here in Bellevue, Wa. last year. It was just off the highway and the back up was so long it would take over an hour just to use the exit ramp to get to it.
To this day there is a State Trooper at the entrance telling people they can't get into the line for the drive-thru because it blocked traffic and they'd have to go around the block. Clearly 1/3 of the customers are refused entry and I spoke to the Regional Mgr not long ago and they're in the neighborhood of doing $45,000/day in sales.
The right franchise in the right market perhaps? Just make sure that 1/3 of your potential daily sales aren't turned away
