Chick-Fil-A currently operates five Massachusetts locations in Peabody, Burlington, Chicopee, Framingham, and Westborough. The Georgia-based company runs over 1,900 locations in 42 states and Washington, D.C. Its sales last year were nearly $6 billion.
In 2012, late Boston Mayor Tom Menino wrote a letter to Chick-Fil-A President Dan Cathy, saying the chain was not welcome in Boston after Cathy made comments against same-sex marriage.
