Chick-fil-a is not really a franchise model. I believe all their locations are corporate owned, but they make all their managers part owners. I don't think it takes any upfront cash to become a manager/owner either. But it is difficult to be selected. You also don't generally have the option to select locations or even manage more than one location without special approval.
