The University awarded a contract for Food, Supplies & Equip for Chick-fil-A Franchise to Chick-fil-A, Inc., DBA Chick-fil-A Supply, LLC, Atlanta, GA, for an estimated $400,000.
Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) is looking to award Chick-fil-A, Inc., DBA Chick-fil-A Supply, LLC for the purchase and distribution of food, non-food supplies & equipment for the Chick-fil-A franchise on the Edwardsville campus. To address the unique needs of Chick-fil-A restaurants, in 2019 the company developed its own distribution capabilities through the creation of Chick-fil-A Supply, LLC. Chick-fil-A Supply, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Chick-fil-A, Inc.
The University has determined that this purchase is only economically available from this source because the items are required by an existing franchise agreement.
