Will Chick-Fila ever go public? Why or Why not!!?

Question

Will Chick-Fila ever go public? Why or Why not!!?

Answer 1

Why in Gods name would anyone want to go public if they didn't need to? People issue stocks to raise money for business. They get money, but lose exclusive control of their own company. If you can avoid issuing stocks, do it.  If I had a company I would burn the building down before giving anyone an ounce of my power.

Answer 2

Public about what?

Answer 3

Probably at some point.  It's nice that you have full control of your company but when a company goes public, it raises money in the billions.  They can parlay that money to make more.  You know the saying, it takes money to make money.  This applies.
