Chick-fil-A appears to have set a company record in sales on Wednesday, a day on which Americans were encouraged to show their support for the fast-food restaurant whose leadership has drawn both criticism and praise in recent weeks for its opposition to same-sex marriage.
The company declined to give sales figures but released a statement confirming that frenzied sales of chicken sandwiches and cross-cut waffle fries had made for a record-setting day. “We are very grateful and humbled by the incredible turnout of loyal Chick-fil-A customers,” said Steve Robinson, executive vice president of marketing.
