Chick-fil-A Settles Lawsuit Over Alleged Delivery Price Inflation for $4.4 Million in Cash and Gift Cards
October 17, 2023
Business Insider
Chick-fil-A has reportedly agreed to a $4.4 million settlement following accusations of inflating delivery prices during the pandemic while advertising low delivery fees. The settlement comes after a group of plaintiffs filed a lawsuit seeking class-action status in a Georgia federal court, claiming that Chick-fil-A raised menu prices by up to 30% for delivery orders, despite promising low-cost or free delivery through its mobile app. While the fast-food chain did not admit guilt, eligible class members are expected to receive a $29.25 cash payment or a gift card of the same value, and Chick-fil-A has agreed to disclose potential menu price differences for delivery orders on its app and website.
